Mormon Helping Hands

On Saturday the 21st, we attended the Mormon Helping Hands project! Our ward rendered service to the East London Child and Youth Care Center where we washed windows, did yard work, and played with the orphans. 91 people made up of members, investigators, and community attended the project! 3 ANC counselors even showed up to lend a hand, and as a result expressed interest in attending our Church service! Good news indeed! L was assigned to be the ward reporter - her task was to take photographs of everyone involved and write a report which was sent to Area office! Was an awesome experience! Here's a few snaps from the day:

Barclays Premier League Victories!

Yes, its THAT exciting time of year again - the Premier League has started as of last week and we're thoroughly enjoying every second of it! We're especially joyful because our teams have both won their first matches. Starting off with L's team Chealsea who played on Saturday night against West Brom; won 6-0! What CHAMPS!

Then on Monday night J's team Man U played Newcastle and won 3-0! In the words of Lady Gaga - "REJOICE!"

But lets get down to reality here...Chelsea have way more brilliant players (Cech, Essien, Terry, Mikel, Lampard etc) than Man U (who have Berbatov, Van der Sar & Rooney etc). So its likely they'll kick their trash all over the place. To quote Sir Alex Ferguson, manager of Manchester United, "Chelsea are the team to beat and we're focusing on that."

Let those words sink in for a second...

Hesiod's Theogony

Just for interests sake, this is what L had to draw for her Greek mythology assignment - its the family tree of the First Beings, the Titans and the 12 Olympian gods, all according to Hesiod's Theogony...fun stuff:
