Well the details are in and our "convoy" is put together. The Florida Tampa Region of my church has been assigned to head up to Mississippi this weekend and my specific stake (Fort Myers Stake covering Venice down to Naples) is assigned the task of Keesler Air Force Base. Our assignment is the helping of Air Force Personnel with whatever they need in addition to the civilian employees of the base.
I will be bringing my camera along (not my camcorder) and will bring many pictures back. In saying this I do not plan on taking pictures of destruction and other such things as we've seen enough of that and I mean no disrespect to anyone living through this current hard time. Instead I will be taking pictures of the actual "relief effort" and our own personal assignments.
Last week I had my shots updated and I'm ready to go. We leave early Friday morning in our convoy of vans to setup a "Tent City" in Biloxi and will return early next week.
