Today our students had an extremely full, extremely meaningful day. We started off heading in a couple of different directions - part of the group chose to head down to the riverfront for a ferry tour, while the rest of the group took a bus out to the Garden District. We met up at Bethlehem Lutheran to have time with their folks, Pastor Keen and some of Bethlehem's other partner congregations. It was meaningful to see where Pastor Greg and a few of our members served this past January, and to see the progress that's been made on Doris's place. Our time included a fantastic crab and shrimp boil. Quite a few of the kids were willing to try blue crab, which includes tearing it apart to get to the backfin meat.
After a quick stop at the hotel after our time with Pastor Keen, we headed back to the hotel to get cleaned up, and then off to Champion's Square for a bite to eat. We headed into the dome at 7 pm, and then had a fantastic experience taking in the music, speakers, video, and the 35,000 Lutherans present.
We wrapped up the evening by spending some time at a dance and 'fun zone' at our hotel. I'll post some pictures soon.
Peace,
Dave
