Family and Friends,
Hello! This week has been a good one. We were able to meet with a few of
our progressing investigators and it's good to see how they've been learning
and growing.
We also had the chance to do lots of service this week! On Tuesday (or maybe Wednesday) we helped a member tear down his
deck. We ended up doing it in the middle of the afternoon and it was so thought
I thought I was going to die! Also, I don't think I've ever sweat that much in
my life. Earlier on in the week we helped weed a lady’s garden, which for some
reason we also did in the middle of the day. Maybe we need to plan that out
better next time! Then later on in the week we helped move some furniture to
one of the sisters’ investigators houses. We've been able to do lots of service
this week, and get to know the members a lot better. Overall, it's been a
really rewarding and successful week!
Service is one thing I've come to love on my mission. You take a young
adult, who during this time of their life typically only focus on themselves,
and you send them on a journey where they do anything but think of themselves.
Instead of focusing on me and what I need and want, these past years I've been
able to focus on other people. I've been able to look into people’s lives, love
them, and help them. In doing so, I've come to understand a little better the
love that God has for His children. I've come to love people that are
considered by others "unlovable." Service really is one of the keys
to happiness. If you are feeling down or stressed, take some time this week and
serve someone! I promise you it'll brighten your day and week!
I love Y'all!
