After a hearty breakfast at the hotel we headed out to start our sightseeing. It did't take long for us to find Cafe Du Monde and have Beignets!! YUM does not even begin to describe these delicious treats!! Reminded some of us of funnel cake!
We enjoyed lunch at the Gumbo Shop in the French Quarter and before long we found ourselves stopping for more of those delicious Beignet's!! They even make Pig Nay!
We spent the remainder of the afternoon on a 3 hour hurricane Katrina tour. After our tour we all loaded up to make the 90 mile trip to Biloxi MS. We were welcomed to New Life by Ken and Miriam who also had a delicious home cooked meal ready for us.
After settling in to our "home" for the remainder of the week we enjoyed an amazing time of team affirmation and encouragement. We are excited to begin working with Habitat for Humanity tomorrow morning and looking forward to God using us as his hands and feet.
Please continue to pray for safety and that God will continue to center, grow, fill and use our team!
In Christ's Love and on behalf
of the entire team,
Melissa
I asked Anderson who he wanted to pray for tonight and he said "I want to pray for Biloxi". We prayed for everyone on the team by name and all of those people that you will cross paths with during your time in Mississippi.
