St. Christopher Children's Home Service Project

President Alvarado says, "Let us begin!"  Begin we did!  We worked to remove the sod from a small area of the back yard to make a flower bed at St. Christopher Children's Home. 
  We were grateful when each additional person came to help.  LJ brought his friend and younger brother, Tevon, who happily put on Mormon Helping Hands vests, paused for a picture and then went to work.  When we were almost finished.....
 Ms. Wells said, "We appreciate all you've done, BUT, what I really would like you to do is the area on the other side of the fence."  Elder Hadlock and President Hanley didn't say what they were thinking--'YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING!
But as the morning progressed and one-by-one more helpers arrived a big part of what Ms. Wells wanted done actually happened! 
Two of the boys currently living at the home came to see what all the yellow vests were doing. 
By early afternoon there was a total of 35 Mormon Helping Hands that enjoyed a little rest and sack lunch in the shade.
