At the Bishop's Storehouse

Jared decided to set up the church canner at his shop.  It's in a permanent place and open to all the ward to stop in and use at any time.  It was previously in poor Sister Pfeil's garage taking up a lot of space.  We figured if we were going to provide the canner a home, we'd better provide the canning supplies too so that people would be more inclined to stop in and use it.  So we went down to Indy and took a tour of the Bishop's Storehouse, which was mind-bogglingly awesome.  And to think it's all there to go to people for FREE.  Whenever there's a need, they ship out whatever is needed wherever it's needed.  And there are many of these.  So we had all of our little helpers help us pack up a TON of cans and boxes in our big van.  I think we ended up with 40 some boxes in our car.  We piled it from floor to ceiling.  It was awesome!!  When we got it all brought in to the shop and piled up it looked pretty good.  We had some black beans and dry milk to do of our own so we were the first ones to use the new space. I'm so excited that Jared is taking initiative on this.
