2nd Week as a Missionary

11/30/23 - I went to Desert Industries and sorted out clothes making sure that good clothes were separated from the bad ones that had stains or treats in them.  Then we had lunch.  Then we did the same thing again with the domestic stuff too such as pillows, pillow cases, blankets, heavy blankets, towels, and even bed sheets.

My experience was amazing, cause it gave me a feeling to know that all the hard work was worth it to make sure everyone has a piece of clothing that they like or in a need of replacement.  Because we all deserve something that makes us all feel good about ourself, whether big or small.

12/1/23 - I went with my mom to Walmart to pick out a gift that I really like.

My experience is getting the gift I like is so fun since it matches my artistic lifestyle, coloring.  I really like to color so I bring along something to color.

12/2/23 - I went to a missionary Christmas party where we had a yummy dinner that's Hawaiian Haystacks.  Then we had our gift exchange we pick out someone's gift and hear why it's that person's favorite gift.  Then we had a picture taken with all the missionaries and had a service project where we were wrapping gifts and stuffing stockings for certain families.

My experience during the party is learning about missionaries favorite things, and feeling good getting gifts to other families representing the reason of Christmas is giving to others remembering why it's so special to us.

12/3/23 - I went to church ten to a mission district meeting.  Then I listen to the First Christmas Devotional.

My experience today is just I needed to feel the Christmas spirit going to these places and to realize why we have Christmas and the reason why to celebrate i the way we do.  To remember not just the Lord's birth, but also his Atonement, and everything He has done for us, and everything he went through to save us all.  Without the reason to celebrate Easter, there wouldn't be any reason to celebrate Christmas at all.

12/5/23 - I helped out at the Bishop's Storehouse with bagging produce, like bell peppers, carrots, and potatoes.  Then had a meeting with the missionaries.  Then soon after we took a break from lunch.  Then helped out with the rest of the potatoes.  Then helped clean windows in the bathrooms, wipe tables clean and stack and put away chairs.  Then I helped bag toilet paper and get them stacked into boxes.  Then made a card for a truck driver thanking them for all they done.  

My experience today was truely wonderful cause it was another day to be more like the Savior like how He helped other people just like us.  What a wonderful day it was to be more like my Redeemer.  It reminded me of how many people that He fed during His time on the earth.  ❤️❤️❤️
