Grateful and stuffed on cheese.

I didn't think I would ever or could ever have so much fun writing a blog, I find myself addicted at this point and all hours of the day my my mind wonders on what I am going to write next. It seems that there was a good idea behind this whole blogging site.

Well last night was Achievement Days for our ward, and we took the girls to Welfare Square. I have never fully grasped or appreciated all they do there. We started our tour watching movie about the process and the effects welfare square had on people. From there we got to go into the Welfare Square supermarket. It was like a tiny little Wal-mart with everything you could every need. Then from there we headed to the bakery where they make wheat and white bread. Then to the best part of the whole tour. We got to go where they house all the milk and where they make cheese. And of course we got samples it was like we where at costco, but I didn't have to push to get a sample. Since I was the leader in charge I got to hand out the samples and then slip a couple in my mouth as I went (it's for the baby I PROMISE)! So the kids got some much needed picker upper since they were coming to the end and getting tired. Then we headed back to the car and took the cheese stuffed girls home.

My reason for blogging about this, I was I was so surprised to know how much work goes into Welfare square. And the greatest part of it all is they only have 4 full time workers and 2 part time workers. That means 98% of all the work goes on in Welfare Square is completely volunteer. It makes me feel so inadequate to think how many people donate their time to a cause that may not even need. They just do the service because they have more to give. It makes me think of all the wasteful hours I have wasted watching TV or playing on the computer. Especially when the economy is as bad as it is. And there are tons of people struggling day to day. It does make me incredible humble and grateful to have a roof over our head, a job that makes me happy, warm bed at night, family that means the world to me, and a husband that I just adore. I am just grateful to have the opportunity to be able to see the amazing care and labor that goes into welfare square.
