My Saturday Warrior's

Last Saturday eight youth and some of the adult leaders showed up for a service project.
I never really realized just how much work goes into taking care of this property until I had to stand back and watch everyone work. They helped me with the yard work so that I can mow the grass/weeds. I am so thankful that they made it out here on Saturday because we had thunderstorms last night and the grass/ weeds are going to take off.

My warriors were: Brother Chris Meyers and his three children, Hannah, Molly and C.J.,
Brother Thomas, Sister Richardson and her daughter, Miren, Issac Parrish, Robert and John Bustamante and Cassie( a girl that comes to youth activities on Wednesday nights).

After three hours of hard work, it was meal time. I gave the kids a choice of either pizza or sloppy joes and they chose the pizza. Sister Richardson and I went into town to pick up the supplies. We, the young women, one young man put together the pizza's and Sister Richardson and I baked them. We all enjoyed them. Afterward we all went outside to finish up the job. I think they were here from 10 until 2. They did a fantastic job and I am very proud of them.

It sounds like the Elders Quorum is going to be putting together a working party next.
They are planning on bringing in the big guns, the bobcat and chain saws to help remove the jungle of Sumac that is threatening to take over the property. I have been whacking away at that stuff by hand and with chemicals for several years to try to keep it at bay but because I can't risk the blisters and open wounds on my hands this year I can't touch that stuff.

I have been blessed abundantly! The Windows of Heaven have been opened!
