Today we began our worship at the Superdome by being part of the procession. It was cool to be apart of it rather then just watching. It was nice that the theme of the procession payed tribute to the hurricane victims by brining our attention back to the devastation of Hurricane Katrina.

Today at worship we had the opportunity to participate in the closing activity. We each had two glow sticks and when the song We Will Love You (which is based off of the song We Will Rock You) came on, we all stood up and did all the motions we were instructed to do. Once we were all done some of us threw our glow sticks into the crowd. It was super fun and exciting!
On the way out of New Orleans, we went on a little tour of the lower 9th ward. For those of you who don't know what that is, it is the part of town that was the hardest hit by Hurricane Katrina. It was really eye opening in a lot of different ways. We saw many houses that were abandonded, damaged, and completely destroyed. We also saw a couple homeless people walking around the street which just reminds us how lucky we are to have everything we have. Overall, it was a great experience and we will never forget it.

Our bus ride started in NOLA and slowly traveled to Little Rock, Arkansas. We stopped around 6:00 for supper in Touloula, LA. We unloaded in an area near a Subway, Wendys, and McDonalds. The ride was long and we slept a ton! We are getting anxious to get home.
Leaving New Orleans was hard and I'm going to miss the city and all of it's diversity. We are, however excited to get out of the HEAT!

We had a great worship service today. We all had a mixture of feelings as we left the New Orleans today with the heat, exhaustion, new friends, close relationships, and faith filled hearts.
Tonight we ended the night in our small groups reflecting on our time as we left the gathering.
Thank you all for this amazing shared expereince!
