Service Is A Blessing

Hey everyone! What is up my peeps! This week was not so eventful so it's not going to be a very exciting email.

 I made a service post on facebook on a Chico, California group asking if anyone wanted any service done for them. And this lady responded! We got 4 other elders to help grab all of these broken cannopies that she had from her outdoor day care and put them in the back of the Paradise elders truck and hauled it all to the dump. It was a really quick service but she really appreciated it. She gave us money for the dump that costed 10$ and snuck in another 60$! We were like what theeee!? So, we went and got some lunch at this pizza place and it was pretty good pizza but not worth the price we paid but what can I say its flippen california everything is flippen expensive. But later she left another comment on the post I made saying how thankful she was for us and that other people should contact us! It was a great experience!

The best part about serving the Lord is seeing the appreciation and gratitude on someones face. Think about it, you give a chocolate bar to someone and insist that they have it because you tell them you care about them.  They aren't gonna frown, their gonna have this ear to ear smile on their face. That's what you get when serving someone because you aren't just serving God's children, you're also serving the Lord. Not only will you have that satisfaction in your mind that you just did something great for a friend, but you will recieve blessings from the Lord. 1 Nephi 15:18, "Wherefore, our father hath not spoken of our seed alone, but also of all the house of isreal, pointing to the covenant which should be fulfilled in the latter days; which covenat the Lord made to our father Abraham, saying: In thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed." All the people on the earth can be blessed! I invite all of you to serve someone that needs your help this week!

Have a good week guys! Set that reminder to serve someone!
