Day of rest

Sunday was a cathartic day of rest after a highly successful, yet tiring day of mass immunizations at the Cajun Dome. (Check out the yet-to-be posted post on that effort.) Teams slept in and gathered up van loads to go out and tour various sites in Cajun country. Many vans went south into the extremes of 'death and destruction' left by Hurricane Rita along the Intercoastal highway, especially in Cameron Parish which we've heard is virtually condemmed. Many happy, excited tourists returned very sober and moved after viewing these sites during their trips. Luckily, we've heard that there were no human deaths with Rita in Louisiana.

At days end, nearly the entire team found themselves at local eating joint Prejean's for cajun food and atmosphere. There were no late nights as we, exhausted from the busy weekend, had to motivate for a new week and gear up for a renewed mission. (More about that in a later posting.)

We send our hearts out to one of our Lifeline team members who had to return home for her father's funeral. Wendy, we're with you in spirit and you're with us the rest of our days here in LA.
