Saturday July 30, 2011Service Project! Our Stake and another student married stake had a service project on Saturday. A big group of people worked on cleaning out an old trailer park and another group took shovels and dug up weeds on a hillside on campus. Ben and I were part of the weeding group. We were instructed to dig up something called Myrtle Spurge. This is a really cool looking plant that was introduced to our area. Since it is not native to the area, it is starting to take over and going all sorts of crazy. Here is the before shot:  We dug up all those plants (and they had some MASSIVE roots!!!). I forgot to take a picture after we dug them up, but let me tell you...we plowed through that hillside! It was lots of hard work for a few hours and it was really  enjoyable (no joke). Since it was a church activity, there were a lot of people coming up with lessons to be learned with Myrtle Spurge. One of these days I'll have a great talk prepared for sacrament meeting and I'll owe my thanks to digging up weeds.
