This week was insane! We finally were able to do some service activities. We always ask our investigators, or the members we are visiting "Is there anything we can do for you?" 99.9% of the time we don't get a response. But this week we got THREE!! Which made my companion and I so happy because there is nothing better then doing service for others.
The first one is we helped Fofana, and his family move out of their house to a new house down the street. They didn't have much to move but I was grateful that they trusted us and allowed us to help them out in the best way we could.

Laura, an 88 year old Colombian, that we met one day touching doors. She is an amazing women! She is so charitable and loves to do service for others. This week she asked us to come over and help her move some things up and down from the garage that she has below her apartment. We were there forever! She needed us to help her rip up this documents that she had been saving for 15 years. My hands were so sore after but it was a lot of fun because even though this women is 88 years old she still salsa´s around the house. Colombians..
Estella, Laura´s daughter, she called us to help her clean her house. When we got there we were disappointed we didn't bring more hands to help. We weren't informed this before, but Estella is a hoarder to a T. What was crazy is Estella built her own house...It would not pass the codes in the US but its pretty legit. She had wild animals (chicken, sheep) running around outside. It was quite the experience to clean up. Well... attempted to clean up anyway. She didn't want us to throw anything away so we just tried to organize the mess.
I like doing service activities on the mission. It really helps me feel rejuvenated and focus more on my purpose to serve other people. I hope all of you are doing good. I miss you all. My prayers are always with you.
Con Amor,
Hermana Shurtz
