Justin and I decided that we should be better about stuff like this, especially considering our leadership callings. So, tonight we went for the first time and I have to say that I really enjoyed it. We did peaches and the four hours flew by! Of course it helped that we had friends from the ward there to pass the time with. :)
Anyway, I had forgotten that there is a very unique joy to be found when you serve others in this capacity. I guess I've had humanitarian aide on my mind this week because of the Boise fires that destroyed ten homes and left those families without anything.
It is such a priviledge to be able to work. So often we see it as a bad thing, but tonight I was reminded that it is a blessing. There's a line from a movie the kids like to watch that says "One of the greatest prizes life has to offer is working hard at work worth doing." I couldn't agree more!

we've only been to the cannery for ourselves, but we should go for someone else for a change...thanks for that!
I've never been to the cannery, but that is one thing I have been wanting to do. That's really sad about those families, I hope they get lots of help and service. What is it that you want from traditions? I could probably pick it up for you, I am going tomorrow I think. Just call me or something!
