HOLA MI FAMILIA!!!!
So glad I get to talk to
you guys again and hear from you and about all of your awesome experiences!!!
Not a whole lot happened
this week except for a ton of service. Like I am talking 14 hours of it
throughout the week but anyways let us just talk about what I did!!!
On Tuesday last week we
helped paint a kitchen for a member. She decided that she wanted it to be
sunshine yellow, not my color of choice but hey it’s not my kitchen so I don't
have a problem with it. We were over there for 5 hours painting that kitchen
because we had to prime it first, put on two coats of the sunshine yellow and
wait for things to dry in between. Also I got paint all over my Hawaiian
shirt!!! But it is getting washed today so hopefully that takes care of the
problem because I really love that shirt!!
On Wednesday we went over
to a guy's to help him move some stuff around and put together some furniture
that he had so that he could have some place to sit in his living room. It took
about two hours to figure all of that out. But he was glad that we got all of
that stuff taken care of for him and I am glad that I got to help.
On Friday we went to a
lady's house to help load wood in her trailer and take it over to her friends
place because her friend’s house only gets heat through a stove so she has to
have some wood on hand in case the temperatures drop on us! She was super nice
though! She is an old English lady and she is just adorable! She kept coming up
to me and pinching my cheeks and telling me how much I reminded her of her
grandson. It was super funny and I am glad that I got to meet her.
On Saturday we went over
to a member’s house to help pull some fallen trees and logs out of his ditch.
So we were walking around in his ditch hooking chains to the trees and then
hooking it to his truck so that we could yank them out of there!! I had so much
fun doing it! He was so grateful for our help that he took us to Costco for
lunch and we got some pountine!! It was freaking delicious, I love that guy so
much.
Also on Saturday there
were some other members who wanted to redo their floor in the bathroom and
asked if we could come and pull out the toilet and rip up the old floor. I had
a lot of fun doing that because I just love causing destruction!!
Finally, on Monday we were
back over at that guy's house where we helped put furniture together and he
asked me to trim his yard for him. This doesn't seem like too big of a deal
until you see the size of the yard he has!!! His yard is huge!! I was trimming
for 2 hours straight before we had to take off and go to another appointment. I
still didn't even finish the trimming!!! And it was crazy because after I did
that I had the perma shakes in my arms!! My arms were constantly shaking so I couldn’t
even drink anything without it getting all over me!! About 2 hours later my
arms finally calmed down and I could be a human again.
I think that was about it
for the week. I love you all so much and I appreciate all of the love and
support you show me while I am out here.
Talk to you next week!!!
