From December 19 to 22 we had a good time in New Orleans celebrating Rusty's_Graduation. He received a Masters of Divinity with emphasis in Expository Preaching from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. It was very clear that Rusty was very much respected by his professors, a great educational compliment.

Over the next few days we ate at Parkway Poor Boys, sampled the famous New Orleans cafe' au lait and beignets at a couple locations, visited the light show and displays at City Park and had the train ride there, and toured the French Quarter.

We also traveled to Walker, Louisiana and had pleasure of listening to Rusty preach the morning sermon at Victory Baptist Church, followed by an awesome Chinese buffet, and a visit to the property where Rusty and Anne will soon call their new home.

Back at NOLA we sang Christmas carols in Jackson Square, visited to St. Louis Cemetery 3, rode the trolley into town and then went to the Christmas Fest at the Convention Center.

Congradulations Rusty and best Wishes to the Zwerners for their coming services adventures with Victory Baptist Church.
