HOLA MOM!!
So after emailing on Monday we went to lunch at the Powerstop, they have really good burgers. But as we were leaving one of the workers came up to our car and handed me a piece of paper with his number on it, and said I had a special essence about me. #thespirit ;)
Wednesday morning we did a ton of service that day it ended up being a total of five and a half straight hours. we were working at the local Food Pantry, specifically on their flower bed outside. Well instead of flowers Rachel (the lady in charge of the Pantry) wanted a raised vegetable garden. so we weeded and transferred all plants out. then we dug a trench along the side because there were only three railroad ties that mad up the perimeter and we needed to add another one to make it complete. That took forever because the ground that we were digging out was all rock. It was horrible! :P But we finally got it in an flattened the soil, getting out moist of the rocks, and covered it with some black stuff :) to keep the weeds out, hopefully. Then we started on the 'raised' part, so we hat 4 pieces of 4x4 wood that were 4 feet long that we used in the four corners and then had a total of 8 2x12's ( 4pieces were 5 feet and the other four were 8 feet) we screwed those into the 4x4's one on top of the other, to make a box that will eventually be filled with soil. :)
Wednesday night we were invited to attend new beginnings to welcome Lily into young women's it was a really cool experience, like going back in time. (made me feel kinda old) #9yearssincenewbeginnings :) but it reminded me how much I loved young women's and in turn how much I have learned. I realized that personal progress isn't just something to get done, like anything in this gospel it is something you carry with you for the rest of your life and continually build upon the knowledge you receive from it. It is a tool that helps young women to become worthy to enter into the temple and to make and keep sacred covenants. I didn't realize before but now I have a greater appreciation for young women's than I did before :)
This past Sunday (yesterday) was fast and testimony meeting and there was a theme in all the testimonies that were shared, family. Family is essential both during our lives on earth and in this gospel. It's the first question we talk about in our survey, "Is a close strong family something important to you?" and it's the second point we talk about in the first lesson, our of preach my gospel, right after "Heavenly Father loves us". Everything can be tied back to the family. And I've realized on my mission that one of the greatest gifts we are given is knowing that our families will be together forever. I've seen investigators eyes light up when we say that they can be sealed to their children and spouse for time and all eternity.
I love my family ( that's you guys ) and I can't wait to spend the rest of eternity with ya'll ;)
Lots of Love,
Sister Sanofsky
