I'm sure that it goes without saying, but today was exhausting. The first group of kids left Saint Paul this morning at 5:30am and the second group followed at 11:30am. We have all arrived safely in New Orleans and the kids are all having a great time so far.
In addition to travelling, our first day here included the Opening Mass Gathering with 25,000 other LCMS youth from around the nation. In case you were wondering what that looks like in the Superdome, check it out
in addition to awesome worship, our group heard from several different great people who led the evening. After our opening session, it was quite an adventure to find a good place to eat. Some of our youth hadn't eaten since lunch time and it was almost 10pm.
IHOP proved to be the best choice, and 3 hours later, we are now back to our hotel and resting up for the great day that God has in store for us tomorrow. Please continue to pray for our group and the others here at the National Youth Gathering.
Thanks to everyone for your support, we love and miss you and will post more soon!

Awesome, but who's that tall guy in the back, and why isn't he wearing a neon green shirt?
