July 18th
Today was our first full day in New Orleans. We did a little sightseeing today after registration. We visited the Aquarium, saw Hurricane on the Bayou in IMAX and checked out the rope course and Tinkletown activities at the Convention Center.
Tonight we went to the Superdome and had a wonderful evening. We saw Agape, checked out the speakers and partied it up with 36,000 Lutherans! We all agreed that Pastor Nadia-Bowers was very inspiring. If you are interested in her please check out her sight at http://www.sarcasticlutheran.com/.
We were kept at the dome of an hour due to a storm thunderstorm. We walked back to our hotel in the rain and had our sins washed away as we were reminded of our baptism.
Tomorrow we will be working with Habitat for Humanity. It should be a great day.
Please remember you can watch what goes on in the dome every night by going to the ELCA websight. http://www.elca.org/ELCA/Youth-Gathering.aspx
