We had our bbq on Saturday. God truly blessed us! The morning started early for the first group of workers, 7:20am to be exact (that's extra early for a college student on a Saturday)! But the weather was fabulous for a cookout, and we saw so much community support. Students of GC, professors, family, and people of Bond County came to share in some great food and great conversation. All day, people wanted to hear our stories and share in God's goodness. We even got some good photos to share with all of you!

So what's to come for us in the next few days before we leave?? Well, we have our last team meeting tonight. We will, hopefully, get a better idea of what is in store for our trip and our departure times. As a group, we are having a get together on Friday night at team member Faisal Matin's house. It will be our last chance to bond as a team and get to know each other a little better before our 11 hour car ride! We also have our car ride cds to make, snacks to buy, and, of course, packing to do!
*WEATHER REPORT!*
As far as we can see, God is blessing us again! Weather predicts temperatures in the mid to high 60s, with little chance of rain. Perfect?! We think so!
Things to look forward to in the coming posts:
- departure times and schedules
- what God is doing to prepare us
- a "meet the team section"!
- a daily post while we are on our trip
- pictures of what we are doing
- quotes, stories, and testimonies from group members and the people of New Orleans
