Today at Humanitarian our assignment was to help make 600 alphabet books for preschool age kids. The pages had already been made. We just had to make sure all the letters were there and add the pages into folders and fold the brads. David, Anthony and Rebecca worked with me on this project. Elder Locklear and Elder Macbeth were working across the table from us. There were a half dozen sisters also working. One had the task of bringing pile after pile of pages and folders to us. We filled many boxes with the simple books. Just before it was time to go the sister in charge announced that we had finished and that all the books were made. It felt good to help get the project done in time to get them out before school starts. In addition to that project we helped tie some fleece blankets and Heidi continued her work in the quilt area. The younger kids enjoyed being in the nursery.
Today we get to have the cousins over. Their Mom and Dad are celebrating their anniversary in Hawaii. Heather and Doug reported they made it to the big island safely. With some effort we got the dog fed and walked and 9 kids asleep. It's nice to be able to help family. I'm glad we live so close. The kids and cousins really have fun together.
Very proud of your family tradition of service. Good job!
