We got to do A LOT of service this week... Like every day which is AWESOME! We helped a member pack up her glass kitchen items (two families are moving out of our ward; basically they're taking the whole junior primary because they both happen to have five or six kids under the age of eight... So that's minus like 10 kids!).
We weeded for another member in Scranton and started talking to her
neighbor who seemed pretty interested in the church! We gave her a Book
of Mormon and our number... Unfortunately if she began investigating,
the zone leaders would teach her because that's their proselyting area.
But we really enjoyed talking to her!
We talked to this guy named Marty the other day. He lives in a trailer park with 17 cats! 17!!! He's a Jehovah's Witness. We taught him a bit about our beliefs, he retorted back with his beliefs which are... Interesting. We ended up agreeing to disagree... Sister Andrus shook his hand and I had to as well... but his hands are so filthy so we immediately ran over to the McPherson's right after to wash our hands, haha.
We also participated in youth conference and got to do an activity with the youth; teaching them role plays. We then split them into groups and had them do role plays. It was a lot of fun. I've had to lead the music in sacrament meeting the past two weeks which is interesting because I've never really led before.
Yesterday in relief society, the member who we weeded for taught the lesson. She brought up how we had gone and weeded her yard for her and how she has been telling everyone at work, "while I'm here at work the missionaries are at my house weeding my whole yard for me! That is the way our church is!" She said a lot of people have been impressed with that and it has led them to ask more questions about the church! So, I think it's cool that even something as simple as weeding a members garden can affect other people in helping them see how good the church is.
