We signed up for a service project on Wednesday morning, April 5. We went with Elder and Sister McQuivey up to HVC a little early so we could throw a load of laundry in before we had to meet the rest of the group for snow removal. We didn't get the laundry done, so Sister McQuivey stayed and finished that while the rest of us went and shoveled.
The service project the day before was cancelled because there was too much snow and it was still snowing. So a lot of those people joined us on our day. Many hands made light work.
It is BEAUTIFUL up there with all that snow!
This next picture gives you a better idea of just how deep the snow is.
We were supposed to move our trailers up at the end of next week, but it might be two-three, maybe even four weeks longer than expected.
They have been working like crazy to get a lot of the snow off the roads just to get up there.
The campsites and cabins are still pretty much buried.
Notice the sign on the right side of the road is buried.
This is the laundry mat. There are 16 sets of machines. We will have to figure others times beside just on P-days to do laundry, because there are 83 sets of missionaries, and for the first couple of weeks we all have P-day on the same day.
This is the Guest Service building.
After shoveling some diesel and fuel tanks out, and at the highest pavilion, where some equipment was stored, we went back to the trailer and changed our clothes to go to the Opening Social from 1-4pm.
At the Opening Social we learned how to tie zipper pulls. They already had the name tag lanyards made, which was probably a good idea. The zipper pulls were hard enough.
They had a few more things they were doing. One was making mats, for refugees and the homeless, out of grocery bags.
