Today I went to a youth conferent service project. It was a lot of work, but a whole lot of fun to. We met at the stake center at 8am! Had breakfast then my group and another group went to the Washington Recreational Center and put some rocks in the ground haha. After that everyone went to this family's house where the dad has colon cancer and it is worsening. He doesn't have a back yard really for his kids so we gave him a whole backyard along with a clean and trimmed front yard. We started by painting a fort for the kids, digging a hole in the ground for their trampoline, and getting some weeds and debris out of the way. We did a lot of things in a short amount of time. We put grass in, a sprinkler system in, a fort, grass, gravel, plants, got rid of all the weeds, trimmed the bushes and grass out front, mowed the lawn, washed windows, and just cleaned up everything. It was so cool when the family came driving in and we were all cheering and stuff. Only the mom knew what was going on so everyone was surprised - especially the little kids. Their whole family started crying and it was really cool. It was a fun and long day but well worth it.
This morning Kylie moved. It was really weird saying good bye to her before I left. I know we will see each other again and stuff because she isn't moving far away but it still sucks to know that I can't just see her whenever or talk to her whenever I would like to. I was pretty sad on my way to the stake center but I pulled it together! Hopefully I get to see her soon!
