Here we are in our yellow "helping hands shirts"

Maybe you heard that there was flooding in New York--specifically Silver Creek. Well, our missionaries were asked to go do service for those people whose homes were damaged during the flood.

Here is Sister Dewey on the left and Sister Wolfgramm on the right wearing our Mormon Helping hands shirts. The missionaries were so happy that they had an opportunity to wear these shirts to be a part of the program the church has for helping people all over the world.

Elder Lindblom was the supervisor and got the missionaries into groups

This was one of the houses affected. About a foot of water came into this house so the missionaries had to cut away the dry wall and insulation--about the first 12 inches. The carpeting was pulled up, floors swept and prepared for new plywood in preparation for new flooring.

This was part of the muddy gook that covered everything.

we all met here for our assignments and equipment--shovels, rakes, cleaning supplies

This is where we came to eat a lunch prepared by red cross--beef, gravy, mashed potatoes, desserts, fruits, etc.

These are the volunteers that fed us!!!

Another of the houses that needed the mud cleaned up

Sister Wolfgramm and Sister Dewey shoveled their share
