Planting Trees Service Project

 On Saturday, May 26, we joined several other people and planted trees!  We rode a bus about 30 minutes and then walked another 20 to the site.  The parking lot was full of people - waving flags and holding shovels and buckets.  Not sure of the sponsor, there were youth groups, church groups (us) and commercial banks and stores represented.  the Police had a large gathering of tree planters.

 Here is our small group - all the volunteers, the sister in Pink is an investigator - she was our leader - since she signed us up and knew where to go.

 The trees were in grocery bags - and the forest had these pretty blue flowers - good weather for planting.

 Sister Johnson and Elder Witters planted this tree.

 Elder Smith just finished digging and is reaching for the tree.

 It was a great project to be involved with - I said some of the young volunteers have to come back in 25 years and check on our trees!
