TGIF

Well, our work was finished up today. Don and Elsa headed back to Georgia/Alabama this morning. It was sad to see the end of this journey so close. Jeff and Tammy completed the two handrails they had started the day before with Asher. It was really neat to see the completed project considering their limited carpentry skills. Jeff and Tammy later joined Ken, Samantha and Asher and moved offices for the Broadmore Association. The Broadmoor group had just completed a new youth building and needed to move in for a youth event they will be having next week. Later in the day we presented the $2500.00 check for Annunciation Mission to Duane Nettles who assured us that it would go to providing much needed materials for the area families. We only worked for half a day because we wanted to take an afternoon to see the sights. We went to the Riverwalk and indoor mall then later walked to the French Market. We stopped on our way back for some authentic New Orleans cuisine. It was quite a day that ended with a few games of 'Murder in the Dark'. Isn't that incredible? This fond game of suspense and mystery has made its debut in New Orleans. Asher finally got the opportunity to be the "Murderer" and was vastly disappointed when the rules got confused and he quickly lost the game. He was quite sad to have a 0-1 record since he had never in the past had the opportunity to be the "Murderer". Tomorrow we will head to Alabama and Georgia to attend an Instructional Eucharist at St. Stephens where Don and Elsa attend and where Ken was once the rector.

You guys rock! Servanthood is its own reward I suspect, but good food and shopping can't hurt lol.
Safe journey home....

I'm so glad things are going well. You mean to tell us that Samantha didn't "mass murder" everyone with a sweep of her index finger like last time? It will be great to hear from each of you how this has affected your lives. Let's find other ways to serve - once you've rested up.

Peace,
Chris
