Hey all,
This week was pretty standard so let me tell you about one of our service projects. We helped out a member of our branch with our "Young men's", Which consists of 4 of the 5 youngest members of the branch, excluding JJ because he's only 3, and a part member couple. the member, Brother Richards, was having us do all kinds of tasks on his farm, from cutting down wild rose bushes, Elder Miles still has a few cuts from them, to gathering up piles of fallen tree branches into a massive burn pile. We ended up pulling out his chain and strapping it around an old, rotting tree and dragged it behind his farm truck to the pile. He said that We'll need to come back in a couple of weeks so we can burn it.
The branch also decided that they wanted to redo the garden out front, so we helped Sister Mathews with that Friday, digging up the old garden and preparing for the branch work day, which was supposed to be the 28th, but we found out yesterday that about half the branch will be gone that weekend, so we are rescheduling it. But we are still working on getting all the plants out so we can replace them when the time comes.
I was talking to President Biggs Sunday when the branch clerk came up and handed him a record for someone who just moved into the boundaries. He looked at it for a second then just handed it to me and told me to find out who she was. We asked Brother Moore to take us after church. i should mention that we were all in our church clothes and Brother Moore drives a black charger. There was a man outside that looked about ready to bolt when we got out of the car, it was hilarious, he thought we were cops. The member didn't live there, they probably moved years ago and the last ward just now tracked down where they went.
That about sums up my week, Love you all
