Serving others is a blessing

Jared Mission Sept 10th, 2017

On Thursday I worked with a man in our ward that I used to help with the missionaries.    We went to a lumber yard and we loaded up some saw dust into the back of his truck.  Then we took it to his house and unloaded it near his corral for his cattle.  He had me take a bucket of saw dust into his corral to make a bed for his cows.  We also trimmed a bush that he had, and put the branches into a wheel barrow so that he could use to feed his cattle the next day.  He also had me move some rocks around and lay them by the trough that his cattle used to drink from so that his cattle had something to step on to reach the trough.  I am going to go help him every Thursday now, even though the missionaries have been moved out of our area.   He is a very kind man and I am glad I get to help him.

On Saturday I started my bowling practices for Special Olympics.  I am really excited to participate in this.  The season is shorter this year.  Instead of going into November, we will be done by mid October. 

Everything else is still the same.  In my scripture study I am learning about different parables of how sin estranges us from God.  It teaches me that I want to try everything I can to stay close to Heavenly Father so that I can receive his blessings.
