Hey Everyone,
How are we all doing today? How's the weather where your at? From what I hear, there's a lot of snow in many parts of western U.S.. But not up here. We have very minial amounts of snow. Only instead a crap ton of rain, cloud cover, and mud. Haha. Little said, its been a dirty week for us.
On the other hand though, we've been hit hard this week with a constant stream of service. We're talking like at least 3 hours everyday this week, Including Monday. It was really hectic. I can't believe it sometimes how fast it went and how hard we worked. I am very tired at this point. Phew!
Let me go into a little more detail for you on how it went. So, starting on Monday, we went to the Stake center for Preparation day right, and when we got there, we were asked to help set up some Christmas trees for the Big community Concert later in the week. We probanly set up around 30-50 christmas trees. Haha. It was a great way to spend the preparation day.
Tuesday was the beginning of the Christmas store for the Klothes Kloset where we do service on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It was a long day of helping people out with their purchases and other fun stuff. We also were able to borrow a Christmas tree for the apartment, so now we're all festive.
Wesdnesday, we helped the Whitefish Elders move into their new apartment. Then we headed out to Eureka for District Council. It was fun. While we were up there, being that close to the Border of U.S.A and Canada, we just had to go and see it. Don't worry we didn't cross the border, but we got some sweet pictures by it. Haha.
Thursday we also had another day of service with the Klothes Kloset. While we were there, we also were called by some lady who asked for some help from us splitting some wood. So we made an appointment the following early afternoon to come out and check it out.
Friday, we went up to that lady's place, which is up in the Canyon, and met with her. We brought the Whitefish Elders and split a little bit of her wood. The problem though was that there were almost 12 chords of Woods to be cut and split. Sadly we couldn't do too much, so we set out to make a plan to bring a whole lot more people tomorrow.
Saturday, we finally were able to have a short lesson with Al, but most of our day was spent either helping with a move for a family from here to Kalispell. Then we spent about 2 hours in the Canyon with 18 members to work on the wood some more. I'm very happy that we were able to cut and split up to 5 chords of the 12. I think she will have enough to get through the winter. I hope at least. We set a return appointment too, so we're excited about that.
Sunday was great as well. We had a bunch of families, as well as spent some with the McBrides again. They are awesome, and their little boy Malcolm is thinking about being baptized in January, so that's super sweet as well.
The Christmas Devotional was pretty great. I hope all of you were able to watch and enjoy that as well. It's always brightens the season when we remeber who the season is all about.
Well, I think that wraps up what I have for today. I hope all of your weeks were fantastic as well. Stay warm, and Have a great one.
Love,
Elder Sherwood
