February 9th--Our first Primary activity of the year! As a Primary presidency, my counselors, secretaries and I thought it would be great to start out with a service project. We know how difficult it is to get volunteers to clean the church so we volunteered the Primary to clean two weeks in a row. The first Saturday was all children with the last name starting from A-M. We had a pretty small turnout but plenty of adults came (thanks to my presidency and all the teachers who helped!) and we got the job done. I decided to vacuum and that was quite a chore with all the rock salt everywhere from the sidewalks. Elise helped clean bathrooms (she loved it so much she came home and cleaned her own toilet! WOOHOO!). Brady, Elise and Nate emptied all the garbages from the classrooms. All the children went home with a super yummy Granny B's cookie--complete with the pink frosting and sprinkles. Since there was a small turnout they all got to take 2 home--lucky! I was so touched by all the children and their willingness to serve, they did a great job and worked so hard. Next week the other half of the Primary will come help clean and we're hoping for a much larger turn out!
