What we do as FM Missionaries

We have problems with “varmints”….like woodchucks.  Here we have one that was digging under the cooper shed on the Smith Farm.  It was undermining the footings.  So an employee filled the hole with cement on our day off.  Elder Poulson covered the cement with dirt and grass.

Here is a leg supporting a very large butcher block in the thrashing barn on the Smith Farm.  It was just a few chews away from the whole block collapsing.  Elder Poulson made a brand new leg to replace this one and Sister Poulson painted it with a chemical to keep the “critters” away.

Then there are the sidewalks that seem to always need patching.  That’s right up Elder Poulson’s alley.  Here’s just one of the many patches he has done at the Hill Cumorah Visitor’s Center.

Somethings are pretty easy, like putting together these NO PARKING signs and placing them along the roadway leading to Angel Moroni on top of the Hill.  We placed them there during Pageant to keep vehicles off of the grass.

Also during Pageant, we spent a lot of time buying and spreading gravel in the parking lot used during Pageant.  We use very large grass fields south of the stage for parking.  We had so much rain that the fields were too muddy to drive on.  So, we dumped gravel in the low lying areas to keep cars from getting stuck. We have this little dump “truck” and a regular dump truck.  This one works great around the FM Campus
