Today was a great day. My mom arrived around 9, minus her luggage, and we headed off to the Yellow House with the promise that the luggage was on the next flight and would be delivered sometime today. It finally arrived around 5 p.m.

I showed her around the house and my camper, it was a short tour. :) Then we were off to the work sites to visit the teams and take some photos. We then headed to a birthday lunch with some friends and a fabulous "cake" made by my friend Carla.
The afternoon was spent visiting more work sites in the Gentilly area before returning home to wait for the luggage to arrive and finish some office stuff. We stopped by dinner with the team before heading to Bible study. We were looking at the story of the rich young ruler and it is always amazing to me that you can hear a passage hundreds of times and still get something new out of it every time.

I am so glad to finally have her here. You will no doubt hear that many times in the next few days as we explore the city and have time to be together. I think this is the first extended period of time that we will have had together for several years and I am greatly looking forward to the next several days! :)
