So Tuesday morning my roommate and I travled to New Orleans. We were drove through Times Square at 5am and were eatig benets at Cafe Du Mond by 2pm! It was a crazy trip but it was really great for both of us. I had a job interview and founs a great apartment and meet some really awesome people. God totally confrimed that I was doing what he wanted me to do by moving down. I still get waves of fear but I need to be steadfast in knowing that God is with me through all of this. Still need to find a job, but I have enough money saved that I can live off of for two months so I should be good. I also heard some great things about churches there and about house churches and church plants that are starting up.
New Orleans is not what it once was but I think it is slowly coming back. We drove through some of the hard hit areas and were shocked because it did not look like we were in the US anymore. We also went to Mississippi for a day so Susan could see her town and I think that it was  a lot worse than New Orleans. It was like looking at pictures from WWII of bombed out citys. Huge casinos just gone, house left as rubble and it's been like 8 months and it still looks like a mess.
It was a hard trip for both Susan and I, but it was also a really good trip! I am excited to get down there and to move in and just start living down there! Still need to find a job ASAP!
