Who stepped in the doggie doo?
We arrived! We arrived at St. Matthew's United Church of Christ at 9:10 am Central Daylight Savings time in the midst of a torrential downpour. There was lightning, a moat around the castle in the back church play yard and a rising drain in the women's restroom that Mary Kelly watched rise beneath her feet as she used the facilities. Our hosts were kind enough to get the plumbers out on a Sunday to fix the problem.
Most of us joined Big Easy MCC and St. Matthew's United Church of Christ for a joint worship. Others just needed some quiet time. By the time church ended, the rain had stopped and we moved in our gear. When people cleared out from church, we had a tour of the facilities and learned about the ins and outs of the church (seriously in and out...we need a key to take a shower and then to get back in the church).
This afternoon, we showered, and we slept and got settled in. Denise had to make her very own cave to sleep after being up for 29 hours straight.
The trip was safe but we had our challenges with 6 rainstorms, 3 severe, fog, lightning, and even a rainbow...Pictures will be posted later tonight...

We leave tomorrow morning at 7:15 am for orientation and work begins after that. Tonight we eat and snooze and clean...
Watch for more...later
