Last Week May 25 - 30

This was an interesting week. Lots to do as always. I had a unique experience for a short time helping Elder Young. He has a special project that involves "repairing" some of the logs in the Peter Whitmer Farm House where the church was first organized and where Joseph performed some of the translation of the Book of Mormon. Elder Young had a dream in which he received inspiration on how to "repair" logs that were rotting. It involves first removing the log from the cabin wall. Then he carves out the rotten part and fills it with concrete. I got to help him put one of them back in place. It weighs a ton!!! Yah - another scaffolding job!

Linda, Sister Huffaker, and Sherie from the FM office spent two days doing an inventory of everything in the Kraig Road chapel.

This is the Peter Whitmer farm house where the church was organized. You can't tell where the logs that have been "repaired" even are.

Elder Picanco and Elder Parkeson spent the whole day wheelbarrowing and spreading 3 yards of bark mulch around the Fayette Chapel. I now know that I am no longer 20!

We did a lot of other tasks this week also. Sister Parkerson & I wire brushed off the old paint on a well cover that needs to be repainted. We fixed outdoor lighting at the sisters apartment. We sprayed for ants at the sisters apartment..........
