HEY EVERYBODY,
WELL THEY FINALLY DEICDED WHAT AND WHERE WE WOULD BE.
WE SPENT THREE DAYS AND NIGHTS TRAVELING TO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS,SPENDING THE NIGHT IN PARKING LOTS.WE ARRIVED AT CAMP SHELBY MISSISSIPPI(50 MILES FROM GULFPORT)TO BE REDEPLOYED TO VICKSBURG.
WE LEFT A TEAM OF SIX PEOPLE IN AT CAMP SHELBY.THERE MISSIONS WAS TO GO INTO NEW ORLEANS AND GIVE IMMUNIZATIONS TO THE FOLKS THERE AND GOD KNOWS WHAT ELSE.WEMAY GET TO RETURN THERE.
WE ARE CURRENTLY STATIONED AT VICKSBURG,MISSISSIPPI.
OUR NEW HOME IS INSIDE AN OLD AUDITORIUM, WE HAVE RUNNING WATER AND SHOWERS AND ALSO INTERNET.
THE PEOPLE OF VICKSBURG OR BENDING OVER BACKWARDS TO ACCOMMODATE US HERE.
OUR MISSION IS TO TREAT ALL MEDICAL ISSUES OF THE 700 HUNDRED DISPLACED NEW ORLEANS CITIZENS. WE ALSO HAVE APPROX THREE HUNDRED CITIZENS IN LOCAL AREA CHURCHES THAT WE WILL GO OUT TO THOSE SITES AND TREAT DAILY. THATS WHAT I AM DOING.
RIGHT NOW THE MOOD OF THE PEOPLE WE ARE TREATING IS GOOD FOR THE MOST PART.THEY ARE TIRED, SICK, FRUSTRATED, AND SOME ARE STILL IN SHOCK. THEY ARE GLAD WE ARE HERE AND SO ARE THE RED CROSS VOLUNTEERS THAT WE ARE.WE EXPEXT MORE REFUGEES TO ARRIVE SOON. THEY HAVE THEM IN A LARGE CONVENTION CENTER IN THE MIDDLE OF VICKSBURG,PROVIDING ALL OF THERE NEEDS.
RED CROSS, FEMA, AND COUNTLESS OTHER ORGANIZATIONS ARE HELPING TO PROVIDE HOMES, SCHOOLS, JOBS, AND FOOD AND CLOTHING.
IT'S A MESS THIS COUNTRY WASN'T PREPARED FOR
WE HAVE NO MEANS TO GET MAIL AT THIS TIME,SOMETIMES CELL PHONES WORK,SOMETIMES THEY DONT,JUST DEPENDS ON THE NETWORK AND HOW BUSY IT GETS.
I'LL TRY TO KEEP IN CONTACT WITH CANDY AS MUCH AS I CAN.
GIVE EVERBODY A HUG FOR ME AND TELL THEM I'M FINE.
HELP CANDY AND JOSIE AND THE KIDS FOR ME.
I WORRY ABOUT THEM A LOT.
THIS WASN'T THE BEST TIME TO LEAVE IT NEVER IS.
I WILL TRY TO SEND SOME PICTURES BACK HOME BUT I HAVE TO TRY TO FIND A CARD READER FIRST.
GOT TO GO TO FORMATION
LOVE YA ALL
JD
