 On October 26th our Stake participated in a "day of service".  Grant's best friend, Kyle Steele, came with us.  It was a blessing having him with us.  Grant was mush happier to be there because he had a friend with him.We volunteered at a cemetery in Farmersville, a town north of where we live.
  It was interesting work.  Many of the head stones had settled and were uneven. Some were even over grown with grass.  The task was to uncover and level the grave markers.  Some of the markers were easier to level than others. 
 These lovely ladies beautified the area...they picked up trash and pulled weeds. (Sarah and Becca Hay and Jillian Gardner.)
This group owns the cemetery.  They call themselves the "Odd Fellows".  I visited with one of the men for quite a while.  They are basically a service organization who began caring for widows.  Really, really good people. It was an honor to serve them.
