The Week of Service

This week we did a lot of service, probably a little too much. On Tuesday we went on exchange with the zone leaders. Elder Bingham joined me in Harrisburg. It was good to go on exchange with him one more time. We had great exchanges in Mtn Island and Huntersville, so it was cool to have one last exchange before he goes home this transfer. We helped a brother in the ward build a shed in his backyard. This time we helped put up the roof frames, I got to sit on the beams and hammer the nails in place, it was pretty fun. 

Wednesday we did service at Habitat for Humanity and Thursday we helped a lady in the ward plant some more flowers in her garden and dig some holes. 

Saturday morning we went with one of the senior couples to help do some garden work at a homeless shelter place. There were people from a different ward in the south stake there...and guess what!?! Edward was there!! I was really bummed because when I lost my IPad his number was on it so I lost it, but tender mercies! He was there and I was able to talk to him for a while. Anyway, that was fun. Other than service we had zone conference on Friday and that one was really good. I was in a musical number that turned out pretty good. We saw James a couple times this week. He's still working on his housing situation and he sent his kids off to Wilmington with their mom for a little bit while he gets everything in order. He came to church again this Sunday and it was great to see him there. 

We weren't able to find that many new people this week, but things were pretty good. Hopefully this week will be even better! Love y'all!
