Our stake had a service project in rememberence of 9/11. This year we went up to Colville to work on a park that was a tad neglected and falling into dissaray. The children worked on a sand pit by pulling up the weeds that were trying to make it their home.
I had the very hard job of taking care of Peter. Boy was it hard work. Others volunteered but I felt it was my duty as his mother to take care of him.
After the kids had worked so hard they got to play games
Then of course there was food for all
At first I admit that I did not want to go. I had many things to do at home and no time in my schedule to travel 3 hours and work for 4. That 7 hours could have been put to good use by many important things (sleep being one of them), but I'm glad we went. We helped beautify the Earth and taught our children more about the importance of service.
