This area is just popping with opportunities to serve others and it is so awesome! First this week we got to go and serve in the rain. We went over to a family's home and weeded their flower beds and cleaned them out. Then we got to plant lots of pretty flowers and the grandma put me as head landscaping architect, so you just know those flower beds look great now!:p We also got to mulch them and since it was raining we were way soaked. The family had a big hill on the side of their house too so we pulled out a tarp and made a slip-n-slide, it was a blast. Next we got to go and help a member clean off his yard. He has a lot of Virginia Creeper, and that is not good to have around little children. It is a vine that can make you itch like crazy. So we went and helped him clear that out one morning. Next we got to go and deal with more itchy stuff. We went to another members who had a pond that had become over grown, majorly with Poison Ivy. We got to go out with little clippers and to hack it all back and haul it in to the Forrest. Luckily I did not get any on my skin. One companionship was not so lucky though and have itchy wounds all up their arms. Lastly we also got to go and help a moving family repaint their walls for resale.
We also had interviews with President Grayson last week. We got the privilege to drive him to go pick up his car that was being serviced. It was super silent for a little bit and so awkward. Once a conversation started though it was all good and we had a great ride with him.
This week we enjoyed a wonderful amount of rain that we got drenched in, but also people were still very kind and picked us up to give us rides as they saw our "suffering". I enjoyed every minute of it.
Fun Facts:
