Good luck Jordan!
If everything went as planned and Jordan was able to get his caseload in order, then he is out of the office right now as part of a stake group that has gone from Dallas to the areas of devastation from Katrina to help out in any way needed. He said it would most likely be clean-up and that they will be “roughing” it, i.e. camping somewhere near where they are helping. Thousands of Latter-day Saints from Texas have participated in this service and continue to do so. I believe that there were approximately 7,000 members from Texas doing this last weekend, although that number is unverified.
Thanks for performing this service, Jordan.
ABEV: a bird's eye view 
I hope it all went well. Made me think about what constitutes a “good” excuse (thinking of the parable of the Good Samaritan) and only hope that going to a wedding was an acceptable reason to not volunteer (and that all went well for Jordan).

Thanks. It would have been really nice to see you there, Stephen, but a wedding is understandable. It was an unforgettable experience- I plan on posting about it later.

Jordan, I hope you get time to post on this soon. I am interested in hearing more about your experiences down there.
