Service
We got a flier in the mail a few weeks ago about a youth group wanting to do service for people in our neighborhood. I kind of forgot about it, but my friend mentioned that the group was coming to her house on Monday, so I called to see if they had any more openings. Luckily they did! About 20 high schoolers came for a hour Tuesday afternoon and cleared our all the weeds in our 'garden', stained our flower growboxes, and washed our windows. It was like a whirlwind! They seemed like nice kids, and were from a national religious conference taking place in Salt Lake that week. They did a great job, and were just interested in serving, no strings attached. We sure appreciated the help--they accomplished in one hour what would have taken us MUCH longer by ourselves, and we had wanted to get those things done before our guests came this weekend. It was so helpful, and a great reminder of what service truly is.

That is awesome! I need my windows cleaned!! Perfect timing for you too!
What an awesome thing! And isn't it amazing how much a group of teenagers can accomplish in a short ammount of time?
Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun in Southern Utah, the pictures are great. Thats so nice that those high schoolers came and worked in your yard, how nice. Looks like Cora enjoyed her birthday presents too.
I didn't see this come in the mail, but Jen Arbon told me about it a few days before. We were out of town that day, but it would've been nice to have. I bet you are glad you got in on that.
