New Orleans

It's almost 7AM CDT and we are in the process of packing up the bus and heading back to Rock Hill. To say that a mission trip has been a fantastic experience never truly captures what happened. We did a lot of work on houses in areas that were as rundown as any I've seen. We had the pleasure of working with Crossroads Missions on about five homes that they have built in an area that is downtrodden and in many place falling down. The homes that they have built are for the most part the only bright spots in the area. We laid flooring in some houses. In other houses we put the finishing touches so that they could be sold to first time homeowners in the area.
It was a great week. I'll post more about next week. Right now, I have a 14 hour drive to begin!

-- Peace, Jamie
