Friday, Day 6; Last work day and goodbye to New Orleans for 2011

As we prepare for our last night in New Orleans, l would like to take the time for the group to thank all those who supported the mission trip this year!  For those who provided delicious treats for the trip down ( I especially enjoyed the puppy chow, I didn't share ;) ) prayers and monetary support. We are truly blessed with such caring people!

Our last day at the work site included actually painting the main window on the deck. It is finished! We have primed all the windows except for on the south side. Check out the pictures from our last work day:

We took time this afternoon to visit a few homes from the past three years, to see how they are fairing and course a tour of their still beautiful home. First we visited John and Minnie from last year on Clouet. And to see this house complete, it was breathtaking. It was not the same home we walked into this time last year, holes in in the ceiling and a bedroom wall from thieves and little else. To see the loving hands of countless others who came after us that allowed them to come home, it was truly a God moment.

Tomorrow, I will have some updated pictures of John and Minnie's finished home as well as updated progress on Overton. The excitement of the afternoon led on into the evening with dinner in the French Market and window shopping. There was little to no time to pass the required memory cards before we all headed for bed.

Enjoy a few additional pictures of the New Orleans's French Quarter:

Our trip was not complete without some delicious Beignets at Cafe Du Monde. 

And so I close our final day in New Orleans with tired feet, sore muscles and filled hearts that our fingerprints in our homes are but a small reminder of God's love for Nola. Its been a meaningful trip, and I thank you for 'clicking and scrolling' through with us!
