service

Hello All,
Last week was a hard one, we had a lot of canceled appointments, sickly investigators, and unanswered doors, but these things are not always in our hands, and we are doing all we can.
Tomorrow we are going to do service for an investigator of ours named Lori, we are going to pick oranges at her friends place, and that should be really good! This last week we got so do service for Lincoln city, moving things into storage so they can start renovations in their city hall, I things the man heading it up was surprised at how quickly we got it all done! But that is what happens when you have 10 elders and 2 sisters all loading things up! I love how service is such a good way to talk to people that we would normally never get to know, and a way to show them that we are here because we really care about them.
Yesterday in relief society we had a lesson on the talk from last conference called Choose Eternal Life. It talked a little about service, and how you serve. How do you give service? You find a need and fill it. That is what I hope I can do out here, find the needs of those we interact with, and meet those needs. Service is one of the best ways to get to know a person, and learn to love them, and show them your love, so how could I not love the people in this area? This is where I ahve been called to serve. That is what is on my mind, and I hope you all know how much I care about you all back home, and how influencial you have been in my life. Thank you!
Much love,
