2005 New Orleans Mission Trip

The notes from this trip to New Orleans to provide disaster relief from Hurrican Katrina were stolen from me in Amsterdam. It hurts, but what can I do? I don't mind that my backpack was taken, or the $400 cash, or other items, but there was a notebook, a journal which loss I feel deeply. There were over 30 pages of notes on this trip alone, memories, stolen from me. That is a loss that will indeed haunt me for years to come. Rest assured that the next time I travel abroad I will be vigilante... I mean, vigilant, lest someone get hurt attempting to relieve me of my valuables.
