A few weeks ago our Ward youth had a service activity to help a family in our Ward. This family has had physical hardships on the mother (who was the avid Gardener at their home) and the husband had fallen behind on doing the yard work because working and taking care of her were priority. So off we went to the rescue!
It was tough work! Cutting out grass, pulling a huge flower bed of weeds, cutting away lawn around the light post (in above photo- Carter with bishop Stocking) and much much more! But it's amazing to see what can be done when you have an army of people! It was an awesome sight! And after all the rough work they were rewarded with Popsicles, koolaid, cookies and oranges.
I love to see kids get their hands dirty in service! It was wonderful! And the gratitude we saw and felt from the family couldn't be measured! So glad I was able to be there! :)

We did something similar recently, and I know what you mean--it's great to have an army come in and just take care of it! Many hands do make light work--or at least make it go more quickly!! Nice work, everybody!
