Continuing to learn and Serve!

Jared’s mission February 5, 2017

Monday I worked at the Deseret Industries only because the Bishops storehouse was closed due to it being a 5th Monday.  I like working there because I’m able to get to know lots of interesting people and about their life experiences.  I hope I’m able to be a good friend to them.

Tuesday at the Family History Center I indexed names to be processed from people looking for their information.

The Temple was closed this week for maintenance so I listened to two conference talks by our church leaders about Temples.  I enjoyed them.  One talked about how the Temple shouldn’t be separated from Family History.  That is one of our main focuses for the Temple.  To help those who have passed before us.

Thursday I went with the missionaries to teach a lesson to an investigator.  It was a good experience for me and the family was very nice.  We then went to another lady’s house to help her move her AC unit out of her window.  She talked about how her two year old likes to be outside and if he sees a crack in a door he will take advantage and work until he gets out.  That reminded me of the stories my parents tell about me of when I was growing up and my active nature. 

Friday I showed up for work at the Bike Shop, but it was closed due to weather (ice storm). 

Saturday I didn’t have basketball practice because the tournament was today.  I have chosen not to play sports on Sunday.  I hope the Special Olympics will change the tournaments to another day during the week so that I can play in the games.

Today we got more snow!!  And it’s possible that I may not be able to go to the storehouse and DI tomorrow if it snows through the night. 

This week I learned that due to the wickedness of the Kings, the ten tribes were split and formed into their own kingdom separate from Judah and Benjamin.  And that Christ keeps His promises to David that he will always have a righteous King to rule in the kingdom of Judah.  (Second Kings 1-17)

I’m grateful that people are trusting me with personal information and just as a friend in General.  I can’t wait for this next week to see what it brings.  I’m looking forward to the next 4 weeks because of the service mission that I will be doing through the YSA branch.  I love that I get to meet lots of interesting people on my mission that I otherwise wouldn’t have.  I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve!

And also I’m getting a new book on CD in a couple weeks.  I enjoy reading good books in my free time.
