Hey!!
We did quite a bit of service this week. I actually really enjoy doing service for people. For one, it's fun to get out of the house and do something a little more exciting every once in a while... and it's also feels so good to help people just because you care and dont want anything in return. I hope I continue to love serving others and it's not just a missionary thing 
I feel like that with a lot of things. I've created so many good habits as I've been out here in Washington and I hope they stick for the rest of my life :) That's the goal!
We went over to Brother Loeshes and helped him move some trees. Yes... whole TREES. He had a couple fall down on his property and he used his chainsaw and went to town. We didn't help with that part haha. We put chains around all the individual logs and he dragged them with his tractor. It's hard to explain but it was fun!
I've been playing a lot of basketball with the elders I live with. It's so much fun and it gets pretty competitive. We go basically every other day at this point (in the mornings). We live right next to the church so we just walk over. All the guys are super cool and we all get along great.
We had zone conference this past Wednesday which was really good. Its always fun to get together again with other missionaries and past companions. President Metts talked a lot about member missionary work which is sooo important! I never realized that before I came out. The members in Gig Harbor are the best though. They are so helpful with missionary work and treat us so well.
I had a pretty cool spiritual experience on Wednesday too. We got a call from a member in our ward and he asked if we could give him a blessing. He had a shoulder surgery the next day and was in a lot of pain. Me and my companion hurried over and gave him a blessing. I've given a couple before but the spirit is always so strong! He was so thankful for us and we are going over again next week to do some service.
God is good. Life is good.
