Sunday in New Orleans #2

We went to church in the New Orleans branch and met Branch President Terry Seamons, Russell Seamons Cousin. They had fast and testimony meeting. It was a great meeting. One testimony was from a man that used to be a Black Panther and found the church. Very cool. Janell and his two Young Women aged daughters were the only Young women.

We talked to the missionaries about someones interest that worked in the french quarter. They are not allowed in the french quarter, they can send a member in.... A little while later we found out why.......

We went back to the condo and walked into the french quarter for dinner, the coupon was for a steak house on Bourbon street so we headed right to Bourbon and walked down that street. Lots of people, lots of music, lots of loud laughter and silliness. There were several girls in bikini's and high heels standing in the doorways. This was strange to me and Kay said "oh there's the prostitutes" oh my gosh Janell and I had our sheltered eyes open and we swore we would never walk down THAT street again. The other streets aren't nearly as bad.

Kay forgot his phone charger so we called the front desk who, being a new hotel, didn't have one that had been left. We walked to the hotel across the street and asked at their front desk and they had one that fit it, but someone had to untangle it. We took it, thanked them and went up their elevator.....and down and left the hotel. If you forget your charger.... ask at a car rental place or a hotel. We have left several at hotels so you give some and you take some.
