Mormons involvment with Hurricane Katrina!

Here is a quote from the documentary about Mormons that was aired on PBS. This is a quote from a Louisiana resident, James Madison, who had suffered from the hurricane Katrina disaster:

“We were hearing stories on the radio of troops coming in. Helicopters were flying over. We even heard the president was flying over in a big helicopter, looking at us. But nobody was there on the ground with us except for the Mormons in their yellow T-shirts who showed up to help us clean up. And they didn't just come in to hand us a piece of food, a piece of bread or something, and say, ‘Here's something to eat,’ you know, ‘while you're working.’ They actually got down and cleaned and worked.”

That is the funniest thing ever! I wonder if it makes me a bad mormon that I'm not willing to tatoo the prophets on my back. I hope not. I'm glad the mormons were a good example!
