Trek Service Project

I know.....I'm a slacker again. Behind by a couple of weeks....no excuse! I will do like I do every time though, and re-commit to doing better! :)

Two weeks ago for our Personal Progress night we had a couple of rotations. In one room Sis. Klaas taught us how to make Pillowcases in such a fun way. You simply fold the material into a long rectangle and sew! Next thing you know, it's all hooked together! Thank you Sis. Klaas for your willingness to share with us your secret! They turned out so cute! Our other rotation was the Sister Missionaries. They taught us some really fun ways to study our Scriptures, so that we're not just reading, but really learning and growing from the words on the page. They talked about using a red colored pencil and as you read, to underline every time the Savior is mentioned. They encouraged the girls to share a Book of Mormon with someone this year. It was a really fun night!Last week, the whole Stake was involved in Service as part of our Pioneer Trek Experience. Each ward was supposed to try and find a project in their own boundaries. We asked around and found a family in our ward who's Father is away for the next 5 mos. for military training, leaving Mom and 3 little one's at home to care for the yard along with everything else. We were so excited when she agreed to let us come and help. The youth did a great job! All of her garden beds were weeded, and sprayed. The lawn was edged and mowed. It looked amazing when we were finished, and she was so grateful. It was incredible!
