Today we five, Amanda, Kayla, Luke, Nicole, and Sadie, all helped out in the St. Bernard community by picking up trash along the highway. It was a very big eye opening experience. A lot of people honked at us and gave us thumbs up for helping out their community. Although we were hot, sweaty, and gross, we felt good about what we were doing. While we were working we met a lot of people from different places including Connecticut and Ohio. When we were done with the work we took a tour of St. Bernard parish. It surprised us that after three years there was still a lot of buildings and houses that were still abandoned and needed work. After our hard work, we arrived back at the superdome and walked back to the hotel to get squeaky clean! When we were clean we walked back to the superdome to congregate with over 37000 youth. We left the superdome after about two hours. On our walk back to the hotel we came across a woman sleeping on the side of the sidewalk between two doors. To wrap up our amazing and experienced day we went to the Hilton hotel on the Mississippi River to enjoy the activities and dances they had going on. At the end of the night, we came back to the wonderful hotel room to enjoy ice cream for Zech and Kayla’s birthdays!
Love the five of us ;-)
