Saturday was a pretty busy day. We woke up super early and got all of the things together for the Spanish Branch Activity. Seth was in charge of this activity for cinco de mayo and the city was having a clean up so we decided to combine a bit with the city. It was so amazing because we had such a good turn out to help clean up. The kids were working even. It was so fun to have all of us working together to help make the city look better. I will say you can defiantly tell that we cleaned the areas that we did. I was not super helpful after Thursday Seth made me sit alot of the time so I was the bag lady and I basically held the bags that were empty and the bags to put garbage in while I was sitting. I will say that is not the easiest thing to do....sit during a service project. But everyone worked really hard!!!

| Skyler even had his little shovel and loved working beside his daddy!! |
 |
| I was so proud of Marisa she was quite the whirl-wind. She took her little rake and made piles in the gutter. Then she would move up further and make another one. She is one little girl that knows how to work. I never got any photos of it but when she was little and we were in Denver I think she went to more moves then most of the men in the ward. She would help bring out all kinds of little things from the house and she was always on the move. I am so glad that she learned the meaning of the word service and work at such a young age and that she continues being such an amazing girly!!! |

| After Cleaning up from 9-11:30 we headed over to the park to set up. The city was providing food for everyone that participated in the activity and the branch provided kids games for all the kids. So we set up a fishing pond, ring toss, ping-pong ball toss, dig for treasure and I did balloon animals. It was so fun....and we had some great helpers with the kids games. |
 |
| The Missionaries Elder Bennion and Elder Ayala manned the fishing pond. |

| Awesome members from the branch and on this right far end a Guatemalan family that we have been able to get to know recently!!! They are so great. It was so fun to see them at the activity too...we invited them but were not sure if they would come because they are not members...but it made my day to see them there. (We have come to know 3 Guatemalan families here in price that are all not members but we are now friends with....it is sooooo goood to have Guatemalan food again!!! I had a Guatemalan tamale just the other night...YUM!!!) |
 |
| Brenda manned the dig for treasure. We took the shavings and put them in the turtle along with little prizes. I sure do love this girl. We would go walking all the time and she has been there for me so many times!!! I love this girl!!!! |
