off-topic: Mission Trips

I went on a mission trip to Reynosa, Mexico last week.
We built two concrete block houses for two impoverished
and needy families.  Serving families in Reynosa was
like receiving a huge B-12 shot for the soul and spirit.
I find it somewhat uncomortable using any public forum
to espouse religious/spiritual matters, which I consider personal and
private, but I do feel comfortable offering that if you have the opportunity
to go somewhere and offer yourself in serving others, please consider doing so.
I think you will find it a rewarding experience!  I think that sharing this
info with you makes sense as the drumming community is truly a
supportive and giving group of individuals.  Religious/spiritual or not,
you can serve others.  It's a great experience.  Please do give it a try. 

Have a great day!

Neal,

I have not been fortunate enough to be able to go on a trip like you describe but it is something that I have always wanted to do.  Congrats!
