New Orleans or bust - Part 1
We left Ada today about 4:30 pm (and I wasn't one bit stressed! haha)
The first pit stop was in Paris, Texas where we ate chicken. Then we stopped in Clarksville to pick up Emily. Then we stopped about an hour after eating for a potty break and of course everyone got ice cream etc because we stopped for the potty break at a Dairy Queen... hmmm....
We made it to Shreveport about 11 pm and let me just say THE CHURCH WHERE WE ARE STAYING TONIGHT IS FREAKING AWESOME. I will definitely be taking some pics and posting them. Their were about half a dozen people waiting for us with snacks... they had matresses set up for us... and a card (personalized) on the mattresses along with a bookmark and a devotional booklet from the Upper Room (especially for the hurricane victims I think.)
The folks from the church are also going to be here at 7 am in the morning to cook us breakfast.
Oh and get this - they have provided towels for us to take showers so we don't have to mess with our wet towels when we head out to New Orleans about 9 am in the morning.
That's all for this update. But let me also say that Thomas did a great job preaching this morning at First Presby Church.
Peace out,
Scott
