Virginia Day of Service

Last week was the state of Virginia's day of service which conveniently (and on purpose too) coincides with the anniversary of our church's welfare program.  So in true Falls Church Ward fashion, our ward, young and old, got together to give service throughout the community.  Dallin and I went out and helped to fix up community gardens at a senior apartment community.  It was muddy (it had rained the entire week previously) and there was a ton of dirt and gravel to move and a bunch of weeds to pull, but it was fun to work with our friends and to make the area better for the people that live there.  Here is a  video of our ward's service projects on you tube.  I think Dallin shows up in the video, he's shoveling dirt.  Anyways, it was fun and we're glad we went and very grateful that the rain stopped for at least a day to be able to do this service!
