While Thursday is our last full day in New Orleans, it's also one of our most meaningful days for our students. Not only do they get to see the fruits of their labor like the fence being built and house painted, but they also realize just how strong the relationships with the locals they have built when they have to say goodbye. Today we finished off our work sites and the students did great! We then took everyone down to the French Quarter to do some sightseeing. This is a wonderful time where students get to experience the New Orleans culture through local food and jazz music. When we were done with that we spent the evening at our last VBS night. At the end of VBS, the people of New Birth Missionary Baptist awarded each student with a certificate that declared them to be honorary citizens of New Orleans.
It has been a great week and there will be stories to tell for a long time. Please pray as we start our travel home Tomorrow. God Bless.
