Me and my mom had the opportunity to join Rock Harbor on the GO trip to New Orleans. The trip was phenomenal. Don't get me wrong...sleeping on cots in a room full of 30 girls (90% of them being in junior high and high school), showering in camp-style showers, trying (key word) to go to the bathroom in a stall with a curtain for a door, and eating things that were prepared for hundreds of people was not easy, but missionary work never is! It was amazing to be able to hear stories from families and help them out in a tangible way. The devastaion even after two years was mind-blowing. It really gave us perspective and helped us to realize that our "problems" didn't really amount to much. If you are given an opportunity to go to New Orleans...take it! You will be changed. Here are a few pictures from the trip. Yes, that is a real plane, and yes, it is in someones yard.
