This week we did a lot of service for different people. Mainly this less active member that has been through the temple with his family and everything! He has just lost his sight on the ultimate prize that's all. But we helped him completely rip out his floor and then install a new one. It was a lot harder and a lot longer than what all of us anticipated. But he has opened up to us a lot and we hope that we showed him that we love him and that's why we sacrificed three days of time to help him. We want to start meeting with him and his family each week now that we have a really good foundation with him. He even invited us to go fishing next week! Which is always a plus. He is the member that we went with one time and he straight up threw his knife and stabbed a water maccasin while it was coming after him! We also had a lot of success this week. Alicia came to church with her friend that is living with her and Alex. Sadly Alex had to work, but it was great to see Alicia and Chelsie there. Alicia even got up and bore her testimony! It was so sweet. We had one of the best testimony meetings that I've been apart of on my mission. The Spirit was so strong and I know everyone there could feel it. The best part was that everyone had a big smile on their face and they just testified of how happy they are because they are living the Gospel the way that it should be lived. Chelsie said she cried, but with tears of joy. I also hit my year mark last week, which is a way weird feeling cause I still feel so new at this. Time has flown by so fast, I don't want the mission experience to end. Good thing I have a year left! I'm excited to take what I learned from this first year and make this second year even better!
