This week has been one of very few but amazing service
assignments!
Last Saturday was a short day at Camp Wildwood. I yet again
got to help out with the zip line (and may or may not have brought an extra
helper see pic) It was all going smoothly until a young man from a YSA (young
single adult) ward that was up there decided to go upside-down on the zip line
(which is a huge no no since we only have 1/2 harnesses and it is not safe).
The rules are that if someone does that in your group then the zip line gets
shut down and no one else from your group is allowed to go down. Sadly he had
to learn that his actions has consequences and so we shut the zip line down and
ended it for the day.
Due to Veterans Day I did not have assignments Monday and
Tuesday. Wednesday was a beautiful day at the temple and we had a great
Institute class that night.
This week we had Family History on Thursday and were excused
from all of our other assignments. We got to have 2 men visiting from the
Service mission department in Salt Lake. They came to observe and learn about
what we do in Family History and the new project we were given to work on! I
also got to be in a little meeting with them where they asked us questions and
we gave some feedback on how to make Service missions more successful.
During the beginning devotional for Family History, Elder
Bramwell (My mission leader) announced to us what we have all been waiting to
hear, that the First Presidency will be sending out a letter to church
leadership announcing Service missions TOMORROW! Oh was my heart so happy. We
have been told for so long that it was going to be announced "in a few
short weeks", but hearing that it was happening, and on Friday seeing the
announcement was so exciting and I cannot wait to see how it will bless so many
others!
If you missed the announcement here is the link to the
article on it!
Have a great Thanksgiving ya'll!
