Our ward's time to volunteer at the D.I. came around again, so I got volunteered by Terry (paybacks for volunteering him last year). Truthfully it's a lot of fun helping out, as few experiences can provide as much fun for free. I was assigned the dock where we would unload the cars that pulled up with donations. After carefully reading the work contract I got to work. I think we saw everything come through there except a raspberry beret (which I had my eye out for). I got to hear all about Merrells plans to open up a 30 different sauce hot wing restaraunt. Dave and I spent some quality time looking at the magic eye book that came through (I wish Dad had been there, he's the best at teaching people how to see those). I saw lots of people I knew dropping off donations, garnering comments like "oh, I didn't know you worked here..." My favorite was when Dave (magic eye book) picked up a bandana that fell out of one of the bags, said "I've been wanting one of these", blew his nose in it, and stuck it in his pocket. All joking aside it's a neat program that they have, and a fun opportunity to be of service. I even got all Tracey's christmas shopping done (just kidding honey). I'm already looking forward to next year!

I never knew that wards volunteered for the D.I. I don't think they do that here. If they did, Jason would be the first to sign up, and he would get all of his Christmas shopping done.
