El Proyecto de Servicio

This week has been a grind! We have worked everyday this week for about 4 hours doing service. It is for the same man named Luis that we helped last week. This week we focused on the yard outside the house. The grass in the backyard was probably 6 feet tall and thick. There were Vines growing on everything and all the trees and nopal cactus was overgrown. We borrowed a few lawn mowers and a weed wacker from a member but we ran out of line for the weed eater. So almost all the week we were left to using machetes, shovels, and a pick axe to clear out the grass and cut all the Vines and trees. It was fun cutting everything with the machete for a few hours until the blisters developed. (Elder Blackham told us on the phone today that Luis is being baptized on Sunday!)

I don't know how this is here but I just realized this week that almost every other house has a South Jordan, Utah trash can.
