Lex had her first real job, aside from babysitting. She heard that a farmer in our ward was having some kids weed his corn. She decided on her own that this was something she wanted to pursue. She called him up, she set her alarm and was pulling weeds in his field at 6 am the next day. The farmer was impressed with her weeding speed and ability – he was quick to tell me all about it. I was a proud mom of my girl. She even got bold and asked if Mason could join in as well. He was anxious to earn a little bit of cash too. Lukcy for them both, the job didn’t last over 4 days, because reality started to set in…but then they got their checks! May this be the beginning of many more ambitious "work" days and reinforce the benefit of higher education which will produce even better jobs.

Way to look out for your brother. I want to know how many pairs of shoes you bought? Your mom is right, it’s good to work hard labor so you will appreciate an education.
