I've asked the youth to take turns writing for the blog ... here is Zoey's entry for today ...
We all had a great time today with all we are doing, I have to say the highlight of the day had to be the plane ride here because everyone got like really close in those seats. Especially the taking off and landing because it felt like a roller coaster ride it went so fast. When we got to New Orleans we saw that there was so much we could and wanted to help fix. We all wanted to do soo much more than a lot of us would have wanted to do at home. We all take what we have for granted at some times while people here have less than we do cause of the weather issues they have. Coming down here made a lot of us think the same thing, its so different but so like where we live at the same time, it also made us think about how much more we should be thankful for what we have that other people would do anything to have even for a little while of their life. I think that I speak for all of us when I say we all will go home thinking a lot differently when we go home about what we have and what we take for granted from now on.
