Title: The playground emergesToday was a busy day!
We again supplied two people to work in Bright Space (Noelle and Grace). We also played with the older children, continuing to work on basketball, knock-out, Uno, coloring, sidewalk chalk, and other fun childish activities!
The major "work" of the day (as opposed to playing with the kids) was to clear the overgrown area behind the fence that allegedly held a playground.
Two lawnmowers, two weed wackers, several people pulling weeds, carrying branches, and five hours later a playground emerged from the jungle!
Elder Harrison and Miss Bailey were stunned when they walked out of the building and saw that the playground had been cleared.

We worked so hard that some people passed out from exhaustion
This afternoon Paul ordered the mulch for delivery tomorrow and picked up the weed barrier to be ready for tomorrow.
Tomorrow we will lay down the weed barrier and spread two truck loads of mulch. Note: Two truck loads is twenty four (24!) cubic yards (YARDS) of mulch. That's six hundred and forty eight cubic feet!

Thanks to St. Anne's for supporting this important work. And to the missioners - I know you expect the unexpected but mowing and mulching 24 cubic yards is definitely a whole new level of commitment!
Oh my!! Sounds like you are all having a challenging time. I know you're all up to it, though. My prayers for you all continue. Hugs all 'round!
