Good Works Value #6 Complete

On Sunday December 28th, I answered the phone at 10 am and Sister Lyn Degelbeck was on the other line. She and I are really good friends. She is like another mother figure in my life, one that is there for me and is always looking out for me. Anyways, she wanted to talk to Roger. I handed him the phone. All I could hear was what he was saying: "Really?!, Yeah I can go get the bobcat. Are you sure? Do you need Help? Ok let me know then." Yes with remarks like that I was chomping at the bit. The second, ok the millisecond he hung up the phone I asked him what happened. He told me that one of their mink sheds collapsed because of all the snow. Well Rog was sitting there preparing his lesson for Elder's Quorum, and I said lets go help. So we went there. They have 6 sheds that hold mink,(they are mink farmers and just in the 1st shed alone there are over 1500 mink), and I would say that 3/4 of the first shed the roof was completely collapsed. We grabbed shovels, and got to work shoveling off atleast 15 inches of snow. Rog needed to go get the bobcat so I drove him over to Tim's house (brother-in-law) to get it. On my way back I stopped at the 2nd councelor of the Bishopric's house and asked him to call several people to come with shovels and rakes to help. Within 20 mins. there were over 30 people there (men and young men) also the Degelbecks family. By noon all 6 sheds were snow free. and most of the men and kids went home. Rog used a bobcat to shovel snow from in between the sheds and moved other snow. I started helping transport the mink that were in the collapsed shed to the 4th shed. Those animals are vicious!!! They hiss and nip at ya. There were 2 of the Degelbeck's sons and some grandsons, and Lyn's brother, his son, her brother in law and Bro. Degelbeck that were placing the mink in traps that were then carried and placed in the 4th shed. I guess that the mink are not really mean when they are young but when you give them their 1st shots they associate pain and your touch so they really don't like you any more. There were only a few mink that died, maybe a 5 or so. They are really lucky! Rog and I were there from 10 am till 3:45 helping move the mink. By the end of the day, Lyn's brother offered me a job working at his mink farm. Junior and Lyn have called me several times to thank me over and over again. I know that if I was the one that need help they would have done the same thing for me.
By the way, Bro. Burns offered to teach Roger's lesson. He has been in Elders Quorum for over a year and has only had to teach 2 times. The other 3 or 4 times they either had a special lesson by the Bishop or some other reason. He sucks!! Just kidding. I love that guy!
