Alive In You - Mission Trip to Louisiana!!!

AAIIIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!

We're BACK!!!
For those in the know, you'll recognize this Cajun yell. St. Benedict's youth group just recently got back from Lake Charles, Louisiana and got first hand exposure to the energy & faith of the cajun spirit. It was an amazing experience to see, even after almost a whole year, how Katrina and Rita affected everyone living in the Jennings and Lake Charles area. Our group did an outstanding job working on an old middle school that is being converted into a housing facility for volunteers coming in to help in the devastated area.

I'd like to thank everyone who came with us especially Lynn and David, Kitty's parents who used their own vacation time to be wonderful examples of the faith through action. All of our teens, college students and adults had to put up with sleeping on an elementary school floor and sweating buckets in Louisiana's killer humidity. As you'll see from all of our pictures they did it with a smile.

I've finally gotten all the pictures we have loaded up on Kodak Gallery, all 635 of them!!!!!! I split them up into 3 sets of albums each covering a few days of the mission trip. Here's the link to all three (Click Here).

Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer and I'll post pictures in a couple weeks of all the fun we have on our whitewater trip down the Ocoee!!!

God Bless,

Eric
