surprise. Hahaha I feel like I have been in service clothes a lot
lately. Anyway we started with helping a family that's moving out move
their washers and dyer so that was fun. And then that night we gave
more service at a care center. So we pushed old people in wheelchairs
around an old car show. I was pumped because I got to see a bunch of
old cars. It was pretty cool. And the old people loved being outside
and pushed around even if they didn't like cars they liked the
company.
We met with Charlie again this week. And he has been going through a
hard time and our team up was a missionary that just got home like a
couple days before this visit so me and him could just tell that he
needed the gospel now more then anything. He is having a hard time
with finding motivation to read so we talked a lot about how reading
the Book of Mormon can bless your life in more ways then you can
imagine. Me and the team up Anthony could feel the spirit just not
sure what Charlie was thinking. But we left knowing we did all we
could to help Charlie and afterwards Anthony turned to me and said
"Wow I have only been home for a week and I already miss doing this!
You guys have the best job in the world!"
On Thursday we went on splits to visit more people. So I went with
Brother Kruse. And he is hilarious the entire time he was cracking
jokes and we visited our less-active Linda again and she just loved
him. And so we helped Linda understand Faith and what it means and how
we can grow it. Afterward I was trying to get ahold of my companion so
we could meet back up to exchange back. And I look up and we are
randomly in Burger Kings parking lot... I looked at Brother kruse and
he just said sorry I already ordered you a Whooper you have no choice
now. Hahaha so at like 8:45 at night we just sat there eating Whoopers
till my companion finally showed up. Best team up ever! Haha
So we gave more service the other day for a less-active family named
the Jones. They are an awesome family that have been starting to come
back to church. So we helped them clean out all this stuff out of
their old house because they are preparing to sell it. And so there
was bunch of old old stuff and they said if you like what you see you
can take it. Well that was the wrong thing to tell Elder Swisher
because I ran into a bunch of sports memorabilia. So I will be sending
pictures but I found an old baseball card of Ken Griffey Jr. from his
second year in the MLB! And I found a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar basketball
card! I found some old posters of Deion Sanders, Isiah Thomas, and
Micheal Jordan! I found some old steeler and pirate pins, and old pens
hockey puck, and some key chains from a steelers Super Bowl. So I am
in love with this stuff and pumped that they just gave it to me! So
that was a fun service project.
And then yesterday and the day before that we got a text both days
saying someone was in the hospital and needed a blessing. And so we
went right away without hesitating and let me tell you giving a
priesthood blessing is the best thing ever. Helping give someone that
comfort has an indescribable feeling. I have such a strong testimony
in the power of priesthood blessings. And let me tell you it makes me
strive to be worth to hold that priesthood and to be able when called
upon to give a blessing in short notice.
Well that was my week, the pictures below include the sports stuff, an
accidental selfie in my truck when I was getting in the car, some
selfies of me weekly planning by myself..., and a random dog cuddling
with me at a less-actives house! 😬
Hope you have a great week. I love and miss all of you!
Elder Swisher
