Nearly 3,500 LDS volunteers came to Mississippi and Louisiana hurricane areas from Florida, Georgia, Texas, Louisiana and Alabama. They camped at meetinghouses and on Saturday fanned out in groups of 10. Their work projects took them to the tree-littered homes of fellow members, of emergency workers and whoever needed help. They worked in Pascagoula, Gulfport, Biloxi and Waveland, Miss., and in Covington, Laurel, Picayune and Bogalusa, La.
