Service 13 Feb 2017

This past week we had a couple of opportunities to go to members houses and help them in their yards.  The first 4 pictures were when we went to Brother Phong and Sister Noi's home.  He is the Elders Quorum President and she is in the Relief Society Presidency.  It is the season for leaves falling.  Kind of weird that the leaves fall and yet it is still green.  I got to sweep the leaves that were on the driveway. I used a broom that kind of looks like a kitchen broom.  The young elders got to use machetes and a scythe to cut the trees and grass along the road to their house.

The next few pictures are when we went to Brother Damrong's house.  He is on the high council and a teacher in Elders quorum.  He had a lot of trees that were growing around his house.  He needed them cut down and some of them trimmed so they would not take out his power lines coming to the house.  The Laotion Elder took off his shoes and climbed the tree to trim the branches.  Not sure if this was a safe activity for the Elders but I told them I wouldn't tell Sister Johnson that they were playing with machetes and climbing trees.

It sure makes you feel good to go and do some physical work.
