Arrived in Knoxville early

Travel from PA to Knoxville TN went very well. We had possibly 10 minutes of bad traffic, and the rest was smooth sailing. We even took a 45+ min stop for lunch and got some frisbee in.

The Baptist church here in Knoxville is so nice we may have trouble getting people to leave in the morning. We had a Mexican buffet and everyone has been playing, basketball, ping pong, shuffleboard, racquetball (they have two courts!) and pool.

Thanks so much for all of the goodie bags provided. Everyone was so very grateful for the extra munchies. :) SUGAR!!!

They are wonderful here at Central Baptist and are even serving us breakfast in the morning! In case you haven't heard, all of our worksites are all in New Orleans and not in Slidell, so for all of you who donated extra for gas money...THANK YOU!!!

Keep those prayers coming! :)

There would be more pictures, but we're having technical difficulties. Maybe later, hopefully with a better connection and a better web browser.

Hi Everybody!

Carl, here, from Louisiana. We went grocery shopping today so ya'll (that's Louisianaian for "you guys") have something to eat for a couple days.

We'll have pizza and beer (yea, right) ready for you when you get here tonight.

We are so glad you decided to come, and we'll all pray really hard that a hurricane doesn't show up while you're here - that would be a reality check. There is a storm brewing, but it's not expected to come to New Orleans.

See you real soon!

Love,
Carl and Barbara
