Sunday

Day 2

Today was a good day. We all went to the church at 11:00 am, and had lunch at 1:00 pm. It was SO GOOD!!! We had fresh fried chicken (I took a picture of it), fried potatoes (at least I think they were fried), and baked apples. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it. :)

After lunch, we hung out at church for a little while, then went driving around the gulf. We went through a neighborhood on the gulf that was totally destroyed. Some of the houses are being rebuilt, but most of them are just trying to be sold. All of these were at least 3 miles inland. I'll add some pictures later. After we went through the neighborhoods, we drove along the beach, looking at millon-dollar homes that are were mostly rebuilt. While we were driving along, we came across a catholic church that was being rebuilt with a sign that said "Katrina was big, but God is bigger." So we all took got our pictures taken in front of it. Then we went on the beach for about a half- an-hour. The water was so calm the waves were only about 2-3 inches tall, and the water was so warm!!!! It was at least 55F!!!

So, after we were done there we came back to the hotel, and stayed there for a couple of hours. Then we went to the evening church service after dinner, which was also very good. It was some sort of stew. Then after the service we had a LONG informational meeting about the rest of the week.

Then the last thing we did was all the kids (ages 13-20), plus Bryan and Brian, went to Sonic's and had dessert. It was a lot of fun, and the waiter was on rollerskates. He was really nice, and we had our picture taken with him. I'll try to get that picture. It was a lot of fun.
