This morning our stake was asked to help on the LDS welfare farm in Coolidge. Growing up, Scott had never had the opportunity to work on the welfare farm, so he signed up to help. He asked the girls if they would like to serve too. They eagerly accepted his invitation. Scott explained that it would be a two hour project and that it would be hard labor. That did not deter them. They all woke up this morning at 6:00 a.m. (on a Saturday!) and went to work. When they got to the farm, Kiara asked where the cows were... :-) Then they found out their task would be digging mud out of the irrigation ditch. The mud was a good one to two feet deep from all the rain run off. The spot that they had to dig out was extremely muddy! The mud stuck to everything, and made shoveling really difficult. It was like digging with a sledge hammer! But they had fun and felt good serving! Would they go again if the opportunity comes? Everyone said "YES!"Saturday, February 21, 2009

What a great experience!! I miss serving at the cannery when we lived in Utah - there's just something about serving that lifts your Spirits. =) Have a great Sabbath day! We love you guys.
