Fredadiah- The Nephite Tree
We were able to perform a service while in "Book of Mormon' times. 23 trees were donated and each tribe was able to plant a tree.
Some of the hard working hole diggers. We wished we had more shovels for the rest of us to 'supervise' with.
We were told they were $100.00 tress and needed a $200.00 hole. Our tribe worked hard and encouraged each other.
It really is hard to supervise without that shovel to lean on.
We were one of the first tribes finished. Elder Wall came by and told us to name our tree. The tribe chose the name Fred. It didn't sound very Book of Mormonish. so we added the 'adiah'.
Jenna checks the depth of the hole. Fred is ready to be planted. Our girls posing.
Fredadiah is a honey locust. He is planted on the northeast corner of the ball diamond close the to back stop. We are going to be watching him. We are praying that he lives and gives good shade in the years to come.
Chelsey gives Fred a nice long drink. Live, Fred, Live!
This was a very fun service project.

I thought that was a great service project. I think they will all be watching their trees for many years to come. Go Fred go!!
