Eleven folks who didn't know each other very well left the HRBC parking lot early Saturday morning.  After 2 days of travel, and arriving at the destination in Port Sulphur, LA, they have learned a lot!  Now it's time to share some of the fun with you.  They've learned very interesting facts about each other.  So everyday you will get to see if you can match a team member with their interesting "fun fact". 

Let the play begin ...... Which team member has a son that represents many of us in the Virginia General Assembly?  If that one was too easy, try this one.  Which team member chaperoned and led a 231 mile bicycle trip?

To help you out --- both of these are ladies!!  The ladies on the team are:  Freda Austin, Laura Fowler, Julia Nixon, Lee Ann Perkins, Terri Shea and Jane Stark. 

Now back to travel news ....... Saturday was not a good day for travel.  It rained all day long.  Traffic in Atlanta was awful for a Saturday.  Don't those people know they're supposed to stay home when it's rainy and cold?!!!  But God was co-piloting all day long, and everyone stayed safe.  After getting the results of the Final Four basketball game, everyone retired to their rooms for some much needed rest.

Sunday travel was much more pleasant.  The sun was out and only 6 hours left.  The first stop was the New Orleans airport to pick up 2 team members -- Laura and Lee Ann. 

Sunday afternoon found everyone moving into their new homes for the week at the bunkhouse at Port Sulphur Baptist Church.  Old friends were greeted when returning team members were welcomed by Pastor Lynn & Nicole Rodrigue, Bruce & Erin LePoint and Rick & Melissa Kesterson.  (You'll hear more about these folks as the week progresses.)  Dinner was at Ann's restaurant.  You must know that Ann's is normally closed on Sunday.  However, she graciously agreed to fix a local seafood dinner for the team.  There was more food on those plates than you can imagine ----- and deeeeelicious!  We're trying to figure out a way to hire her as the team chef!!!   

Everyone settled in for an early bedtime.  Tomorrow will be the start of some great work in Port Sulphur.  Hopefully, there will be some famouse "quotes of the day" to share as the week progresses.  Check back for the Monday news. 

Blessings to all!

(Julia Nixon has a son in the General Assembly.  Laura Fowler was the cyclist.)
