Our church designated today as a day of service, so wards and branches all over the world were doing a day of service. Half of our stake was assigned to help clean up a Catholic Church in our area. We went to the Saint Roch church in Kahuku.
We met athe church at 7:30am and some were assigned weeding and landscaping, some were assigned to clean up and repair a grotto area, and we were assigned to 2 large shipping containers. I wish I had taken a before and after picture, but alas! These 2 containers were stuffed full. We had to unload everything out of the containers, go through the contents to see what needed to be thrown away, then re-load it all into the containers in an organized way.
We had about 50 show up in our area . It was hard for students because they didn’t have any transportation out to Kahuku. Another senior couple and us went to a spot on campus to pick up any wanting to go, but they only got 2 and we only got 1 !!! But all worked really hard and so it only took about 1 and 1/2 hours.
They had a gathering at a nearby beach, afterward, with games and food, but we didn’t go because we had a shift at the VC. Nice time tho! Some other projects people were asked to help with were: beach clean-up, re-rocking a trail, building a hurricane shelter, etc.
