Yesterday the public school students had a teacher work day which meant a free holiday!!! Some of the youth in our Theodore ward joined the Semmes ward on a trip to the St. Mary's Childrens home here in Mobile.
The YM carried boxes and bags of clothes, toys, shoes, and school supplies that were collected by the wards to donate to the childrens home.
This is the group shot we took right before we went in to the room where we met the youth who live at the home and spent a couple of hours getting to know them and playing a few games with them.
Ms. Andie was our guide and she took a moment to talk to our youth about why St. Mary's exists and what situations cause some children to have to stay there. It was a good service project for all of us and wonderful way to spend the day off of school!!!!
