David's Eagle Project Done

This evening in pouring rain from the Mexican Hurricane Willa that was passing north of town, grandson David finished his eagle scout project, a fire pit for the youth of the church. A month earlier volunteer work crews had cleared the circle one evening and constructed the benches a week later, finishing up by the headlights of cars in the parking lot. With delays in the delivery of materials and with dark coming earlier and earlier every week, it was hard to schedule a time in the daylight to finish up.  David decided that come rain or shine, this afternoon at 5 we'd finish up since this weekend most workers would be off to the Florida panhandle to help with Hurricane Michael clean-up and the children in the ward wanted to celebrate Halloween around the campfire.  Of course it poured rain all day although the weatherman said it would be a nice day with just a slight chance of rain. Anyway, in spite of 5 inches of rain the gravel was spread and the pit itself was put together. Everyone was soaked to the bone and went home to a nice warm shower.
