Tornado Cleanup

Elder Nelson: middle row, 9th from left

On June 17, 2010 a string of tornadoes ripped through Minnesota. The northwestern town of Wadena was the hardest hit with a quarter of the buildings wiped out. On June 18th and 19th, 12 missionaries, a missionary couple, the Murdochs, and 22 members from the St. Cloud Stake helped dig out the town. Scott thoroughly enjoyed this service opportunity! He said, "It was a lot of fun to be up there. We were there for two days, and we cleaned up five different houses. It was humbling to see how much damage a tornado can do. It was even more humbling to meet the people and to help them out in their time of struggle."

That is so cool that Scott got to help like that. I'm also glad that his area wasn't affected.

Seriously only 50 days til he's home?! YIKES!!
