Hey Everyone!!

So this week was kinda of a blur!! It came and went way too fast!! 

Last Monday we were able to teach sister Venable!! She is doing awesome!! She still struggles coming to church but she will get there!! Now that the hard weeks of the year are behind her and she's getting back into the groove of things with her life I think she will be coming around real quick! 

On Wednesday we were able to go to the second harvest food bank and do some service for them for a couple hours that was pretty cool!! While I was working a guy came up and asked all about missionaries and stuff so that was cool to be able to share the gospel in non proselyting clothes haha! 

On Friday our ward mission leader decided to enter us elders in the talent show put on by our ward and he rewrote " I hope they call me on a mission" to " I hope they feed me on my mission".  It was pretty lame and cheesy but the members seemed to eat it up as they made fun of us ha but it's all good! 

On Saturday! we were able to go over to the Mendenhall's house to do more service which was pretty funny cause he asked "what we do all day?" and we said "pretty much just walk around for 14 hrs talking to people and knocking doors" and he says "wanna come pull some weeds?!" haaha so that Saturday we went over and pulled weeds for 5 minutes then ate some cheese cake and watched his 6 year old son play legos on the Xbox and listen to his dad make fun of him haha it was pretty classic!

Right after that we went and did some more service for this lady who has no job pretty much has nothing and trying to support two kids, anyway she calls us up and was like "Elders I'm getting some furniture from this lady about a block and a half away and I need help getting it to my house can you walk it there? It should be pretty easy?"! and of course we say "we'd love to!" so we go to her house then walk a block and a half to get the furniture! She needed a bed and a dresser so Elder Younger and I look at the dresser then look at each other with the expression on our face that said " this lady is crazy" so we go to pick up the dresser and it weighs about 300-400 lbs (no kidding) we then look at each other and agree we are not walking this a block and a half to her house!! So we call Brother Mendenhall to bring his truck haha it was crazy how much that thing weighed!!   

That pretty much rounds out my week it was pretty interesting haha 

Scripture

Mosiah 2:17

17 And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings yea are only in the service of your God.

Love you all and miss you!!
