Church Farm

On Saturday June 21 my ward had a service project to help on the church farm in Coolidge. We had to be at the church by 4:30 in the morning it was early so we could beat the heat. We were weeding out the weeds in the cotton field. We got lost and we were late for the instruction. we got tolls and headed to the field. They assinged rows for us to go down and once we were done with the row we went back the other direction. It felt like it never was going to end. We kept working and working til we finished our rows. We we were out there by 8:30 8:45. When everyone else had left bu 7:30 8:00. We didn't understand why everyone else had left and we were still out there working. It was getting really HOT by now plus then working as hard as were were. Then someone came by and told us that we were done working. When we went back to the building to put our tools away they told that we went above and beyond as expected. They told us that we were only to pick the BIG weeds and leave the little ones cause they can be sprayed now that the cotton is tall enough. It was a good experience and we learned to make sure that we knew what is expected of us.
