Hey everyone!!!! This week was great! We had lots of service activities! On Thursday we had the opportunity to help a lady with yard work. We were reached out to on our Facebook page about needing help. We got in contact and she explained how a tree fell down on her house during a storm and her yard was a mess. (Luckily no one was hurt) Hermana Anderson and I got our whole district to come help fix up her yard, we were there for 3 hours. We got half of her yard mowed, branches picked up and weeds pulled. She was so happy to see us and was outside talking with us as we worked the whole time. We are planning on going back this week so I am super excited!!
Friday I got to go to Covington GA for a day! We had exchanges with the STLs (Sister Training Leaders). I went to Covington with Sister Tracy and Sister Anderson stayed in Centerville with Sister Smith. It was actually super fun and busy with Sister Tracy! We had a lesson with a lady she was teaching and we also got to help at the food bank for most of the day!!! I was super excited when I was told we are doing service there. As cars pulled up Sister Tracy would check them in at the computer and I would talk to them and hand out flyers. At the end, some of the people that regularly volunteer there said how they don't know how I could talk to every person for so long! It was a lot of fun! At the end of the day we drove back to Centerville and switched.
This week we had a few of our Spanish lessons cancel which was kinda sad but we rescheduled. We received a referral from facebook this week from a guy named Adam who wanted to learn about the gospel! We called him and he was so excited to hear from us. He had some hard things go on in his life and said how he really wants to make God a part of his life. We invited him to church and he came! He sat with some members that we thought he would get along with and after sacrament he came up to us in tears how he really felt the spirit and would like to keep coming. He asked for a Book of Mormon and we gave him one as well.This week we have a lesson with Adam and we are super excited to get to know him more! We also had another friend come to church! She had to leave half way through but she said she really enjoyed it!
One thing that I have loved about serving so far is that my love for others has grown so much! I feel super blessed to be able to be surrounded by so many people that love God! I know that as we try to see others as Christ does our love for them will grow stronger!! I love you all and hope you have a fantastic week!!:)
