We love to help others

The ward decided to do a service project. A chance to help someone else, show what "Charity" really means. We tied 3 quilts and colored at least 10 file folder games. Of course there was also plenty of food to go around, pizza, chips, cookies.

Fowlers enjoy the coloringElmers wait patiently for their turn at the markers
Orr's aren't afraid to tackle a quilt

(The bishop needs to make them the new Quilting specialists)

Kristen gets the needles loaded Teaching Greg the finer points of quilting

Even the bishopric gets involved

Brother Doyle got an "A" in cutting when he was in Kindergarten.

So many colors to choose from, the McMullins have a hard time deciding.

Coloring or cutting, Carsons love to serve and have fun doing it.

Even project needs a spectator and these two were perfect

Stephanie can't decide what's next
Almost done

The race is on to see who can finish theirs first.

And the winner is!!!! (Sister Broulim is one fast quilter)
Second Place

The final quilt being checked for bad knots.

The Bishop and Shawnee check the instruction as Sister Broulim stacks the frames for storage

CY, checking out the finish quilt, giving them the "baby" seal of approval.

Thanks to those who came and helped, with a special thanks to Sister Fowler for sewing together one of the quilts. Somewhere there is someone who will need these items and we will receive double blessings in heaven for being the ones who made it possible.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You

Another great activity. I don't know about you but I ate too much. Good food, Good Company can't get much better. If you didn't come you really missed out. Standing in line.

Thanks again activities committee for another good time.

Who's your neighbor

On Saturday nights they have been having a get-to-know-your-neighbor building activity. Tonight was buildings 2 and 9. Hamburgers and hotdogs were cooked on the grill with other yummy stuff served on the side. Despite the blustery wind (must be in Idaho) and threatening clouds it was a nice evening. Brother Orr (they are new to the ward) could swap stories of who ate what with the best of them.

Sunshine and Jordan, just one set of the Andersons who came.

Thanks to our ward missionaries for putting together this enjoyable evening.

Don't hesitate to attend when it is your buildings turn. You might just make some new friends.

Happy B=day

Happy Birthday Kiersten and Cooper. I won't tell you how old they are but their combined age makes them legal.

Rexburg Nature Park Clean-up

The ward took the opportunity to do a service project. They cleaned up the Rexburg Nature Park. Despite the cloudy and chilly weather, young and all gathered to help.

Like all good ward activities it began with muffins and juice. Can't expect the folks to works on an empty stomach. Besides, it gives everyone a chance to mix and mingle before they take on the work.

Trevino's and Boehmes enjoyed working together.

Ashley and Kinsley weren't afraid to pick up garbage.

Brock wasn't so sure.

McMullins made a great team.

Charles in action

A last minute addition.

With lots of hands it made short work of the project.

Thanks everyone who helped. A very rewarding day.

Halo or ???

If I didn't know better, I would suspect these gents are playing a network game like Halo or something. They are so intent on what they are doing. After all when the bishopric gets together it's a party. I have the pictures to prove it.

Even the bishop looks intent on learning.

But the truth of the matter is they got together to work on setting up the ward on the I learn/ Blackboard through the school. When all the fine tuning is done you will be able to access the ward directory, get all the announcements, and even check out you visiting/home teaching assignments. One less excuse for not getting it done.
Jake and Bethany, thanks for the yummy cookies and letting us use your house.

I love to clean the church

Every few months our ward gets the opportunity to clean 1/2 the church. Katie love to help
Dallan cleans even the high windows

Kristy is thorough, even the door closers.

Michael isn't afraid of a little vacuum.

Kent know there are blessing in helping.

This is only a sample of those who have and will help. We appreciate your willingness to help.
