Thank you, Belle & everyone else!

Monica had a moment to call, she's in Gulfport, Mississippi, and says that it's terribly odd to be in a place that's completely flat - no buildings except where they're "stationed". She's been placed with two other nurses & a doctor (all from CA), and they're in what sounds like a small warehouse that had no roof, but now has a tarp over it. This will be for her first week, then she'll be reassigned. She seems very upbeat (according to her mother) and is laughing with the other nurses - a great sign! IMHO, being able to laugh during trials ("laughter through tears is my favorite emotion!") is good for the soul.

I can't tell y'all how much it means to me, to know that y'all are praying for Monica!!!! I pray that y'all are blessed ten-fold for this!!
