Detroit?

They warned us that we'd need to be very flexible this year...

We've been preparing this week to head out to New Orleans on Saturday morning, to Camp Algiers to live in a FEMA tent with other NCCC teams from around the country. We were going to work with Salvation Army preparing food and handing out items and doing deconstruction with the First Baptist Church. Today a man came and shared his survival story and I got even more excited to go and help people like him move back home.

And then we find out that headquarters has changed their minds again and they're sending us back to Detroit. So... I'm saying goodbye to the beautiful Louisiana sunshine and hello to the midwest dreariness. I just gotta remember all the reasons I was excited about Detroit again.
