Food Bank

Relief Society was in charge of this month's ward activity.  We had a Chili Cook Off scheduled back in January.  However, since we have a break the fast potluck dinner every month, we decided to do a service project instead.  I was very excited to have the opportunity to serve as individual families and as a ward family at the Food Bank.  The RS secretary made this cute handout.  We announced it well and even texted all of the families in the ward the day of the activity.  

Sadly, only two families came.  Five people total.  I think it was just at a tricky time during the middle of the week.  Tanner and I were the only two from our family able to come and then, the Whites, a couple in the ward came and brought their grandson.  Luckily there were about 30 other people from the community who came to help as well or we would have been putting together food bags for half the night.

Tanner was a good worker and had a pretty good attitude about going.  Once he realized this didn't count for Young Men's and they were doing a service project the very next night, he wasn't too happy though.  I thanked him for coming to help and offered a small peace offering: 30 minutes extra Xbox time but no complaining on his end.  Deal.

The BEST surprise was Susan and Morgan Hill being there.  I LOVE them!  Morgan has been serving there about every other Tuesday.  It was so fun to chat away in line and catch up on their lives.

We sent pictures to Brinley and she was jealous...and happy for all of us.  I was really glad Morgan and Tanner ended up in line together for a bit.  (I think Morgan probably made that happen.)  She was good to visit with him as they worked down the line.  It was a great opportunity to serve together with lots of good people from the community.
