Elder Skinner and I have been hard at work this week as we are every week. We did a lot of service indeed. We helped Shanna clean up her house as much as we could. We started with the back porch and after a while we started working on the interior. I organized the HECK out of her cupboards and vacuumed a ton of stuff. We also brought over some Greased Lightning to help out, we left it there and Shanna’s son Liam (who has had a history of NOT cleaning in the past) spends a lot of time cleaning because of how effective the cleaner really is. He says, "I just spray it and wipe and it comes off!" Greased Lightning is really awesome if you haven't heard of it, it's the best. It apparently makes cleaning fun. We're also gonna be heading over to Shanna’s again tomorrow to help paint the inside of her house. That is gonna be awesome because she really likes us.
We did some more service helping Tara move out of her house. That was fun. We did some prep work with boxing up a bunch of stuff and different things like that. Then, we helped move the washer and dryer from downstairs, took the legs off the dinner table and moved it, moved the TV stand, moved some beds, etc. What's cool is that all the people we've been working with so far have all trusted us. They've basically all said "When you leave, I'm gonna cry" or, "I'm gonna miss you when you eventually leave."
I am glad to hear from them that we're appreciated, but we always gotta make sure they're converted to the Gospel, not to us. If they're converted to us, then we're hosed when we eventually leave them.
Everyone stay safe out there. I was disheartened when I looked at my email and saw that my little sister Elise was a passenger in a recent car accident that seriously injured one of her friends.
Thank you for the prayers and support.
