Finishing off the food storage supply.

Here is the end result of a few hours of steady work, dry packing the bulk goods for our food storage. We are now pretty much set up. As you see from the pictures below we had a fun time worked about 3 hours. Terri, Dillon, Tessa, Blake, Jordin and myself along with those who helped at the dry pack facility worked and were able to put up enough in cans and buckets to get through any tough time that might be in the Oborn future. It was quite fun! Only problem now is that the order didn't look this big on paper and we still pick up 12 buckets of wheat tomorrow. Note - See Dillon sneaking by in the background. Gotchya!
Jordins assignment, labels and keeping the can supply full at all times. The minute the product changed she had a new label ready to be put on.
Dillon, Tessa and Terri worked the assembly line. Blake pictured below was the boxing and shelf restocking specialist. He was a good support for the warehousing of the canned product. In the time we were there we put up or dry packed double of what we had ordered.

Here is Jordin in action racking up the cans. A few times we had to move cans over for her due to her being vertically challenged. She never did let the cans or labels run empty. The workers there at the dry pack were contiually laughing at her dilligence and persistence. I was proud of the kids. Blake and Jordin worked the entire time. Normally, we were told that children under 16 were not allowed to help out. Ours were an exception today. As I told one of the workers who took me seriously, "If the kids don't work and work hard while we are here, there will be no dinner for them tonight". She asked Jordin if that was a true statement and Jordin said YES IT IS!

Congrats to Cody Robert I knew they would continue to need you, you are too good of a man to let go, you are needed for your strength and wisdom. Good luck on your new assignment as 1st coun. in the new Bishopric.
