Lunch for the girls

I provided lunch for the sister missionaries today - it was easy, I didn't even cook it for them, they just helped themselves; but I know they are grateful that they get to eat whatever they want from my house.

I also think I will start adding photo's to this blog where possible going forward.  At the end of the year I will get this printed up as a reminder.  I also need to be more creative about service that I offer.  I think that will be easier at weekends rather than when I'm at work :)

….and then, a service opportunity landed in my lap this evening.  Carter Hudson called and asked if I could pick him up from drivers ed and take him home, because his mum and dad were working in the temple at the time he would be ready.  I really love it when people ask for help!

Day 40

This was an interesting one.  I gave my friend a ride to the Pathway meeting tonight, but she mentioned that she had to stay an extra hour because she had a singing practice with a small vocal group she sings with.  I offered to stay, I figured I could do some homework while I waited.  So I went into the room where they were practicing and was about to just do some work….Janis (the director) invited me to join the group (I have sung with her many times) - so I did!  This service turned out to be a great blessing for me!

I think I am going to start putting titles rather than day numbers from here on.

Day 39

Today was a bit of a stretch….I don't think I really did anything; but I did take the sisters garbage out.  Weak service at best :(

Day 38

I completed a piece of work on the separation process that one of OD specialists was working on.  She had lots of other critical things on her plate and was grateful that I could finish things up for her :)

Day 37

First day back at work for 2 weeks.  After work I went to return some trousers and received a store credit for the return.   I gave the store credit to a friend - she was very grateful :)

Day 36

Sunday is always a good opportunity for service.  Today someone asked me if I could cover her sunbeams class next week.  I willingly accepted although I must confess the sunbeams scare me a little :)  Last time I covered this class I realized I needed to prepare much more to keep them engaged for a full 50 minutes :)

Day 35

First full day back to normal.  With the help of the sister missionaries, I dug out a bunch of British things for a friend who's son is going to the UK on a mission and she wanted to decorate her house for his open house….she loved the stuff :)
