As we prepare to depart from NOLA (as in New Orleans, LA), I figured it’s a good time to do a top 3 (sorry, not enough brain power at 6 AM to come up with a top 10) of things I will and won’t miss.
Top 3 Things I will miss
3. Sleeping in the upper bunk (sort of like being a kid again)
2. Things back in Wisconsin are not covered with the Mardi Gras colors of gold, purple, and green
1. The enthusiasm of the people here….for the Saints, for their recovering city, and for playing host to anyone who comes to help out.
Top 3 things I won’t miss:
3. The guy who sings our wake up call every morning. Waking up and immediately fostering homicidal thoughts is not a good way to start the day.
2. The devotions at Camp Restore are heartfelt but trigger all my Missouri Synod issues. Get me out of here!
1. Weak coffee at camp. I mean, really, if you’re going to cut costs, don’t do it on the coffee budget.
Thanks for reading. We had almost 40 hits one day. Sorry about the lack of pictures. See you when we get home.

Hi All,
Will be thinking of you around 1:00 when you get back on that bus. Hope the trip home is shorter than on the way down! Thank you all for the hard work that you did this week and for your presence and love for our partners in New Orleans. On Wednesday, all the Year One Confirmation students saw the blog and heard about what you were doing. We can’t wait to hear more from your trip when you’re back at home!
Blessings,
sherrie
