Thanks for all the birthday wishes!!
Probably the best thing that has happened this week isn't a lesson, but service. There's an older couple in our ward, the wife is a member and the husband is not. They raise game chickens, a breed that has, in days past, been used in cock fighting. We have been doing service here and there for them the last couple of transfers, but this week we felt prompted to go over on thursday and offer some service again. When we got there the wife was very happy to see us, the husband had been very sick and had not been able to take the chickens out of their nightly resting boxes into wire enclosures for the day. We have been taking the chickens out and putting them back every day since then, feeding and watering them. It's been great to see the blessings of service in our lives. When we serve others, we serve God. Some of the greatest service that we can do for others is sharing the Restored Gospel and the associated blessings, and I believe that the husband that we have been serving is one step closer to receiving those blessings willingly. It's great to be a missionary!!
Love,
