Hey everyone!!!!!
I hope you have been able to have a great week!!!S!!!!
So I have been realizing this transfer how important it is
to serve others and all that can come from that. Like how on Fridays each week
we go to the senior center to help serve and how many awesome, positive gospel related discussions we have. So just this Friday we were serving there and were
working with a girl our age named Madi and we talked to her a little about what
missionaries do but Friday she asked a lot about why we are here and I got to
bare testimony about the Prophet and ultimately the Lord deciding where need to
be and etc. It was just really great and I have had other great ones different
places as I have served at the Senior Center and even at member's homes.E Thursday we were helping a family named the Zobells who were chopping down dead
trees on their property. They had a professional come and do it and it was cool
to watch him climb up the trees with some gear and a chain saw. Well we were
using clippers to cut off branches and put them in a pile and more so logs for
a fire in another. R So the professional saw that we as missionaries were
helping and talked to us about how he is a Mormon but not an active one because
it sounds like he is a PMF but was impressed with us. Also talked to Sister
Zobell some more and said how he will give rides to missionaries he sees in
like Tacoma and such. So just nice Gospel discussions as we are serving like
Christ is the best!
On page 168 of preach my gospel it has this quote about
serving:
"Do you want to be happy? Forget yourself and get lost in this great cause. Lend your efforts to helping people....Stand higher, lift those with feeble knees, hold up arms of those that hang down. Live the gospel of Jesus Christ."
-President Gordon B. Hinckely

I loved the
Womens V General Conference a few weeks ago all about serving and how there are
so many different ways to get out in the community and just serve!!!!! The
church has two awesome websites to help us find opportunities.
I encourage
all of you to just get out and serve and hopefully you will be able to have an
awesome missionary opportunity come from E it!!!
Love you all!
