Service Is All It Takes

Today was a great day! But it wasn't a great day because the guy I like smiled at me or because I bought a new outfit. It was much more than that. Today was a great day because I got to do some good ol' service. When I was little we lived in the low income neighborhood. I only remember glimpses of it like running through the sprinklers with my little brothers and walking to kindergarten with my friends, but going back still feels like going home. It might just be my over-emotional, sentimental side haha but it's always been a place to go back to. To think about how much has changed. How much I have changed. I wonder what would have happened if we hadn't of moved. I wouldn't have made the friends I did which means I wouldn't have been invited to come to young womens which means I wouldn't have gone to church which leads to me not being baptised.. endless possiblities! But I know one thing is for certain: I wouldn't be the person I am today. Well anywho as I was saying..tonight as young women we got to go back and serve dinner to families in my old elementary school. I was overwelmed with what I was feeling. I was feeling sadness for some of the families who you could imagine were going through a tough time. I was happy for those who were so excited to get a warm meal. Most of all I was grateful for all I have. My family is going through our own kind of financial problems but so many people are helping us. Our family, friends, and ward are taking care of us. Ohhh and can't forget Heavenly Father! I feel so blessed to be where I am now. We are all worried about the future but I know our time is coming! Great things keep happening and I can only imagine that it's for our own good. So we can learn how to accept help and give help to others also. Blessings are in store I just know it! Now if I can just get through this next week... JUNIORS WEEK! Lunch activities, announcments, sadies assembly, and the dance! Should be interesting! Don't worry I'll share all bout it! Annnnd take pictures.. hey you know me! Keep in touch <3
