Skyping with Elder Jake on Christmas Day!!!
Well, not much is new since we talked on Christmas, except we got a new investigator. Her name is Denise. Sister Wallace brought her to church and we were able to pick her up as an investigator and get a return appointment. We are super excited. Other than that not much has happened. Here is my spiritual thought for the week however.
We were in Dollarama. A dollar store with much more expensive things that just one dollar. Anyway, we were walking out and this lady was in front of us. At the exit, she took her stuff out of her cart, and just left. She left the cart right in the way of everything. Well Elder Olsen without even thinking about it took the cart and put it away in the cart return place. It turns out that her son, who was in his 40's?, was behind us and saw it. As he passed us, he thanked us for doing that, then went to him mom and said, "Mom those nice Mormon boys just put your cart away for you." It was awesome to see how that man noticed what Elder Olsen did and how grateful he was. Such a simple gesture, but such a great service.
I hope that whenever we are given an opportunity to serve our fellow men, we don't waste it. We never know who's life we will affect. "When ye are in the service of your fellow beings, you are only in the service of your God." May we all serve our God with every opportunity we get. He gives us so much, it is only right that we give back every chance we are presented with. Time to go out and do good! Love you all!
Elder Anderson
