Thank you all for praying for our trip and safety. The flight down was problem free. The planes were on time and all the luggage arrived. We picked up our rental vans and headed to lunch. For a little taste of New Orleans we ate at a unique restaurant...McDonalds. We did stop at Sam's Cafe first, but the young lady behind the counter was also the cook and told us we were welcome to stay, but it would probably be a long experience. We appreciated her honesty and went up the road.
We got to our host church and unpacked. We're really spoiled here. Ping Pong, XBOX, Pool Table, and a Baskin Robbins ice cream shop across the street. We crashed for four hours and then drove 2 miles over to Jim and Nancy Thompson's house. Jim is Linda Norton, Bruce Goodyear, Lorraine Patterson, Lisa Prescott's and David Thompson's cousin. (that makes him the first cousin "once removed" of Josiah and I) He spent many summers in Lincoln growing up.
Jim and Nancy were very gracious host. They made us a big spaghetti dinner and provided a great place to spend our first evening in Louisiana. With a big pond off their back yard and a air conditioned house...we were once again feeling spoiled. They also allowed Sarah and Ally to sleep there our first night because Nancy Stevens does not arrive until Sunday.
In devotions we talked about the many things we can be thankful.
11pm to bed
