Hello again!
I feel like a bit has happened in so little time! I have
been able to document different stories and different things I have been able
to do at my service assignment that I wouldn't have found anywhere else. I am
learning more about my new companion and we are scheduling a time to meet up
together, to actually meet face to face and to get to know one another better
and become better instruments for the Lord. I have been able to pray to Him and
feel my own comfort from Him personally. I have been able to trust in Him more
and be able to feel His Spirit as I wear my badge every day that I come to work
and to serve.
I was looking back and my very first day here at Save the
Family was on June 30, 2016. I remember because I got an email that day saying
that someone named Kaitlyn had brought the most delicious cookies for all to
enjoy and that happened on my first day because I was still wearing a white
shirt and tie until my supervisor had gotten approval to change it to what it
is now. With June 30 on my mind, I learned that September 30, my 3-month mark
is this Friday. Time flies by so fast! The more I help people, the faster that
time flies. When I focus on myself, time slows way down. I started out just
scanning files and having to wear an enormous nametag so everyone could learn
who I was and I have gone to manning the front desk "the front lines as
they call it" and I have been able to learn how to do background checks
and I have slowly begun to help more people around the foundation like helping
with storage issues or with being able to fill in for people when they are away
and answering their voicemail calls and helping with insurance packets and
really just helping anyone out in any way that I can. I like to tell everyone
here that I am Laura's assistant but I am everyone's intern! It's funny and it
lets them know that I am willing and ready to help anyone with anything that
they may need!
I am ready to continue to serve. I have grown a desire to
keep wanting to help the people at the Save the Family Foundation and the
clients that we continue to receive. Through my service, I have been able to
grow more in my testimony of my Heavenly Father. As I have helped clients here,
I have become more grateful for the things I receive every day. I know that
Christ lives and loves each one of us and the more I call out to Him, the more
He wants and is ready to help me. He knows all of our struggles and our
successes, even when we don't tell him and he knows when we will ask Him, we
just have to do the asking for help in order to receive it, we can't just
expect it just because He knows. I have come to love everyone with their
different and unique talents that everyone can possess, I have become able to
be good friends with anyone I come into contact with and I can put a smile on
anyone's face that walks through our doors, asking for help and Christ wants to
do the same but for us. We have to ask for help in order for Jesus Christ and
Heavenly Father to make our lives happy. I know that God lives and loves each
and every one of us and I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Love,
Elder May
