It's Up to Us, New York, New York

 It has been a week of not a lot of sleep, for various reasons. I won't list them, but I will mention them as we go through the days of the week that had highlights that you would be interested in knowing about.  We had a busy Monday with the things that Mondays are supposed to be used for, except we had the opportunity to pick up Elder and Sister Shiley from JFK Airport.

We saw them again on Tuesday for the Employment Services devotional and again heard how grateful they were that we had made ourselves available for them.

Now you are wondering what that is all about.  On Monday the 3rd, we were scheduled to help unload food for a Catholic Outreach Center in the metropolis of Wyandanch, NY. We had a conflict and couldn't go, but then found out that the truck couldn't get through because I-80, across Wyoming, was closed due to heavy snowfall. With delays due to weather and driving regulations it was delayed until this Monday, the 10th. We were able to go on Monday, and we got there just as the truck had pulled in. We helped unload several pallets into the storage sheds behind the church. 40,000 lbs. of food and some household items, as well. Here is the news clip. No mention of the Church on the news, but everyone there knew where it came from. They were gracious and grateful.   ...
