Cleaning a Lot

Sora Heim, Sora Stapley, Elder Lybbert, Elder French

It's morning and we don't have time for any studying or exercising. We are going all the way across the city to pick up trash. That's right! We are going to help clean Bucuresti, if it is the last thing I DO!

It was great manual labor. We spent morning in a vacant lot that people use as a short cut, and apparently a garbage basket. We filled many, many plastic garbage bags full of clothes, cigarettes, bottles, and paper. It's a lot cleaner now, but we might have thrown away a couple of homeless people's homes. I feel a little sad about that, but the stuff they were living in was disgusting and infested with things. We were really doing them a favor.

What's more? We all got to wear those great yellow vests that identified us as Latter-day Saints. I've never worn one before. It was fun, and a good change of pace.
