Massive service day provides help

From coast to coast, members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

joined hands with friends and neighbors to clean up and serve their communities

in a far-reaching day of service. Hundreds of thousands of Mormon volunteers stocked

shelves, constructed houses and helped families in transition get their feet

back on the ground.Helping others is valuable to the person being served but may be of even more

importance to the person serving because it causes him or her to forget their

own problems for just a few minutes and experience the joy of service," said

Elder Walter F. Gonzalez, who oversaw volunteer efforts by the LDS Church in the

southeast area of the United States. Alabama
