In our last general conference, the Prophet asked us to have a day of service in our community. All over the world, saints gathered to respond to this request. As part of that request, each of the branches in our islands found a service project to do. In Antigua, we were able to gather at this catholic church that houses children who's parents cannot care for them for what ever reason. We got to clean the outside of the building and help with a little yard work. There were 3 girls living there at the time. One of the girls was having her 13th birthday that day. With no family or friends to speak of on that special day, we bought a small cake and became her friends for the day. We invited the 3 young girls to help work with us. They jumped at the chance to serve, wear the yellow vests and be with us. It was a really fun day. In the group picture, the girls not in the helping hand vests were our 3 non members. The indian lady who cared for them also finally joined in the fun.
