More on service

When I think about service, I remember my very first young women's activity. We made teddy bears (we worked on this for about a month), and then in February, we delivered all our bears to a nursing home and sang "As I Have Loved You." It was a very wonderful experience. I also think about all the times we pulled weeds or spread bark dust or picked up trash. The last time I was involved in that sort of service project was in the middle of a thunderstorm, but we just kept on working, and it was great. But another point about service is that some of the most important things we can do are in our own homes, among our family members.
