Alot of you may know that i left friday evening to head to mississippi for Morman Helping Hands with the Church of Lader Day Saints...i am not Morman but i went so i could help someone in need. Well we left here @ 6 pm and headed there. it was a 12 hour ride, and it was very unconfortable. We arrived there at about 6 am (this time zone, their time zone is an hour after ours). Me and Derek didnt put up the tent, so we slept on tha bus for an hour...wake up time was at 6 :-\...well me and derek made a friend on the way up there...her name is Jamie, i went to elementry school with her in fourth grade and we remembered one another... what a weird way to meet back up. Well, we ate breakfast and got into our groups. We went to the first house and all i could do was jus stare in amazment. it was really really sad. the house suffered severe damage. it was under four foot of water and everthing was dunzo. i mean beds were molded walls were molded everything had mold alllll over it. well we started to work, and we pulled up carpet, knocked down dry wall, moved old rotten moldy funiture, i mean it was so crazy. words really cant express what i thought at the time. the house smelt like death, pure death, and rotten human waste. we seen jus slabs of concrete where there WAS a house, a yatch that was washed on shore and it wasnt even NEAR water. i mean walls knocked down where u can see right into the home of where ppl lived. we met a person who still lived in tha home that was messed up and it was jus so crazy...and if i could do it all over again bet u so much money i would. this trip changed my out look on life. here are pictures....









































































































i hope these pictures give u a picture of what may could happen to us...and honestly its way more different in person
i love you all :-D
