Our stake has been helping with a service project to make sure that all the fire victims have clothes and dishes and food and blankets and everything else they need. This afternoon I helped sort donations as they came in. I couldn't believe how much stuff people donated! It just kept coming and coming. The Civil Air Patrol were in charge of the heavy lifting, and they brought boxes to our tables to sort. We sorted everything, threw away anything that was stained or damaged, and deposited the rest in appropriate boxes (such as MEDIUM BOYS' PJS). It was inspiring to see so many people donating their time and their resources to take care of strangers. Seeing all this generosity helped me to feel very secure. The USA is a place where people are very willing to take care of each other.
