Soda Spring Youth Service Missionaries service project

Bill Horsley and Galen Wilson from the Caribou Historical Society would like to thank the Youth Service Missionaries and their adult leaders from the Soda Springs Youth Service Mission for the help with a service project at the Caribou Historical Society Museum in Soda Springs. 

Elder Porter, President of the Soda Springs Youth Service Mission contacted Galen Wilson about having another service project for the youth service missionaries to work on. They had previously visited about helping out at the CHS Museum on a project to remove an old shed that was attached to the main building.  

On Thursday, Sept. 12th, the youth missionaries arrived at the museum and began helping clean up all of the apples and crab apples that had fallen from the trees in the yard. Then went to work around the bushes in the yard on the east lawn and the pea trees in the back yard making it easier to mow and trim the lawn. While the bushes were being trimmed the rest of the missionaries went to work on the dismantle and removal of the old storage shed that had been attached to the back of the museum. It didn’t take them long to complete the project. 

It was amazing to watch them at work, we just had to get out of their way. After they had completed the project  work, they met inside the museum while Bill and Galen told them the history of Soda and the museum. They then went upstairs to see the latest addition to the museum, the train room with 4 operating trains. They were even able to buy some the penny candy. It is a wonderful opportunity to be able to work alongside these youth missionaries and their leaders on these service projects. 

They had previously worked on a service project at the Pioneer Cedar Cemetery. Thank you again for all of your help and service. We look forward to doing more of these projects with them in the future.
