a note from Madi L.

WOW! Today was completely amazing. Starting off the day with a huge variety of interesting cuisine, including crawfish, jambalaya, crab, and gumbo, which actually was all very, VERY good! After, we hit the French Market to do some shopping. We headed to the convention center to do some learning about our lives and how present God is in them. It was a very eye-opening experience, especially seeing a video of how horrid New Orleans truly was after Katrina...so bad that dead bodies weren't a priority to clean up, so there were tons left on the street corners, in flood waters, and even on the interstate. Then, we started off to the gathering for another amazing night of music, dancing, inspirational stories, and worshiping. Everyone at the whole entire gathering, all worshiping together, was an overwhelming symbol of how touched we truly are by God and how He is so present in the lives of everyone. Tomorrow is going to be another hot and humid day. Time for some sleep!
