We have had so much fun serving this week! It's a miracle in and of itself that Heavenly Father blesses us with so many opportunities to serve as we seek for them.
We have served at a soup kitchen run by a church of another faith couple times this week and I have never enjoyed mincing fruit salad for someone who doesn't have teeth or being up to my elbows in mayo so much!:) It's so fun to be around people of other faiths who have the same purpose as us- to serve as Christ served. The love in that place is real!

We had an appointment with a less active member in the congregation and we showed up just in time to help her shovel her driveway. Inspired timing haha! The best part was when it turned into a minor snowball fight;)
We also have a couple of members who are in hospitals or rehabilitation centers that we have been able to visit a few times this past week to lift their spirits!
I love being able to see how others are serving too! One of our members texted us and said, "Mormon Dilemma: Does it count as a Light The World if I buy coffee for a homeless person?" Haha, maybe just substitute it for a hot chocolate next time;) We took another member to a lesson with us on Mondaywhen the #LIGHTtheWORLD theme was about teaching others! We had a miracle last night when we got out of an appointment we decided that we should knock a couple doors in the area- the first couple that we knocked weren't very interested so we were wondering if there was another area we should be, but we decided to knock one more door. A lady named Mary answered and she was so sweet, she watched the video and said she wanted to share it with her kids because they are always looking for ways that they can help out in the community! Miracles. Ah! The world is being brightened one act of service at a time, its beautiful:)
I'm so excited for this next week as well, we have our Ward Christmas party and we have set up a clothing and food donation to deliver to those in need. We are also going to set up a stand to wrap people's Christmas gifts for them and show them #LIGHTtheWORLD!:) And caroling, lots of caroling!
Keep up the good work lighting the world my lovelies! I love you all and I hope you have been able to see the effect your service has had on so many:)
Have a spectacular week!
Love, Sister Jones
