We’re halfway there! After 9 hours of driving, 2 pit stops, chicken and biscuts at Bojangles, we made it to Atlanta. Before we checked into our hotel, we got a chance to relax and stretch our legs at Six Flags White Water theme park. Even though we arrived at the park late in the day and only had 2 hours left until it closed – we had a great time! After a long, hot day on the road, nothing feels better than screaming down a water slide at 30 mph into a wonderfully refreshing pool of water.
I love our team! I’m already enjoying getting to know each student and leader better and I am so encouraged by everyone’s attitude. Before we hit the hay tonight we’ll pray together for each other and for the work that awaits us in NOLA. Then tomorrow we hit the road at 7:00am to finish the 2nd half of the drive!
More to follow.
