This week was a fun one, that is for sure. We ended up doing service of some kind almost every day this week, from laundry to yard work, to cleaning out a storage unit. It was a lot of fun. It's always so cool to see how service can make other people's day.
We also now have the opportunity to teach one of the coolest 9 year olds ever! He is the son of a family that feeds us every other week and one day he told his parents he wanted to be part of the church! We taught him the 10 commandments after dinner that night and he took notes and drew pictures and everything. It was so cool, he is so excited about it all! We are now going to start teaching him on a regular basis and it should all go really well.
During my studies this week of the Old Testament I found a scripture that I really liked as well. It was in 1 Samuel 16:7. It says "for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart". I think that is really important for me as a missionary as we are walking the streets. It is important to talk to everyone, we do not know the desires of their heart or what they have going on. We should do our best to treat everyone with love and care because who knows, sometimes the people who look like they don't need it may need it the most.
