Sunday, 22Aug10, Memphis, TN, REST DAY
Blood Fact: “Sickle Cell disease is an inherited disease that affects more than 80,000 people in the U.S., 98% of whom are of African descent.”
Today was a REST DAY in Memphis, TN, thank goodness my GPS was working properly … I was able to find and attend church at the Memphis 1st Ward with Bishop Tom Slack presiding, in the Memphis North Stake on St. Elmo Drive, it was about 10 miles from where I’m staying. It was a relaxing day … and … it was nice to “spiritually recharge” with another group of wonderful welcoming people!
Afterward I drove back to downtown Memphis and drove around, until I found the LifeBlood admin offices and the Donor Center just across the street.
Earlier in the day, I had talked to Jason Sykes (LifeBlood staff) by phone and he confirmed that tomorrow we will be doing a TV spot on Good Morning, Memphis, Channel 13 Fox News.
I’m now back in the hotel … relaxing and trying to catch up on some scripture reading …
