We have been doing a lot of service here in Pine Forest. Mainly has to do with trees... and spiders... We cleared a corner of Bishop's yard that was over grown with trees and it was fun, and tiring. There was a huge Caterpillar in a branch that we cut down, so we took pictures of it, it was cool! I need to send my card, plus some other stuff, hopefully I remember!
We had a real cool lesson in elder's quorum. It started with talking about some of Lorenzo Snow's experience, and somehow ended up with us talking about traits that we all have that help others. It was neat, and it felt good to compliment others on what they do well and what gifts they received from God. It goes to show how we all have things about us that add to the surroundings, either church or everyday life, that are given to us for that purpose.
One more week, and we are transferring to Destin, hopefully... You never know with the mission! Not that I wouldn't want to stay here. I love the members here, they are great people.
I am going to pray hard for Grandpa, that is a tough surgery he is going through. Our ward mission leader in Eufaula was out for months because of a heart surgery. Of course he was in his upper eighties... Good 'ol Bro Grafton!
Also something funny. We had Zone conference last week, and they asked all who were not going to be here for the next one to bear their testimony. I wasn't sure if I would be or not, so I asked. Pres Smith said it would be in three months. I am still here for 3 and a couple weeks so I didn't give it. But then a missionary told me that the next one is a couple days after my departure day... So I might not have that opportunity! :O haha. We'll see, I might have to do it on a conference call or something.
But that's about it for the excitement here this past week. So I'll try to find some cool things to do, or experience while I'm still here! :) But until next week, Love Y'all!
