text: On theses trips I got to meet new people and see new places. I got to help people in need, and that felt good. It feels good when you see someone that's suffering because their home was destroyed and when you help them they have a smile on their face. Taking care of the cattle, horses, and mules was fun. We also found the time to have fun on board, especially on the return trips after all the animals had been unloaded. Us cowboys played baseball and volleyball in the empty hold where the animals were housed. We had table-tennis tournaments, boxing, reading, fencing, whittling, and games aslo helped us pass the time.
