And they call it a service project!


Erika, our landlady, has been having a lot of problems with water in the garage under her home. We have had a lot of rain lately and when it rains hard the water comes. We don't mind except a bird died that had got trapped and has been on the floor of the garage underneath our apartment. The last couple of days have been on the really wet side so the bird has started to smell. I wish we would have heard it before it died.



Steve, Peter and Elders Abrok and Bowen offered to help do some digging to change the route of water. She brought in a professional to tell them what to do. I love how they are all leaning on their shovels.


The did some serious digging.


Is it a bad sign when the hole you are digging for the water to run into is already full of water?


They worked so hard that they got drinks.


The best part is that Steve got the bird out of the garage and buried it in their pile of dirt.
RIP!
