This morning we didn't start work right away due to a thunder storm. This gave us the chance to see some of the parts of new orleans that I didn't think we'd have time to see this week, specifically downtown new orleans as well as a person, our former construction site supervisor, Christina.
Both visiting Christina and downtown reminded me of how much more this trip is about people than buildings. Downtown we visited a famous hat store, and the wife of the owner, a lovely little lady with a french accent, charmed all of us (and sold a couple of hats). This trip was about God's love for her. And for the families and communities we are serving. And about the people we are working, eating, and dorming with. This trip is about God's heart for his people.
Please pray that our hearts burn with the same love that is in God's heart.
