Today the YSA in the Little Rock Stake had a service project where we cooked and served a turkey dinner to a shelter. There is a young man in our group who for 3 months lived in this shelter a few years ago. He wanted to do our service at this particular place to say thanks. It is a working shelter where the residents must have a job or they can't stay. 70% of their salary must be given to the shelter each pay day. The shelter puts it into a savings account and then at the end of three months they leave the shelter and get their savings to pay rent and stuff. I think that is a great idea to get people back on their feet. The YSA Pres. called Fri. night and said that he bought 5 turkey breasts and how should he cook them, this is 7:00 pm and I asked him if the turkeys were frozen. He thought he could cook them that night, so I told him to put them all in his bathtub and fill it with warm water. We went to the store and bought turkey roasting bags and aluminum pans and headed to his home. We gave them directions on how to cook the turkeys in the morning and we took two of them to cook at our apartment. Anyway they did great and all the food was wonderful, we fed about 60 people. We are really learning to love these young people.
