Sometimes I wonder
how the weeks go by so quickly. This has truly been the fastest
transfer of my mission and I cannot believe I have less than a month
left before I go home now.
While we were going
through our days this past week, we had the opportunity to do some
service for the local senior center. They are preparing for a
fundraiser where they are selling pie slices during
the holidays, and
they needed help peeling a huge amount of apples for the apple pies.
So we got to peel a ton of apples (we never kept count sadly, but we
should have!) with a sweet older woman who we got to talk about
family history with. We told her about how we have helped a couple of
people find some relatives for their family tree and she was
impressed. She said she hadn't done much but if she ever started
getting into it she'd ask us! It was just a little thing, but it
helped us build a relationship with her. And while we were peeling
apples for a couple of hours we had a ton of people thanking us for
helping. It was a great way to get to know some people in the
community.
We have really just
done a lot of service this week because we also got to stack some
wood for a woman who knows a member of our church. Her husband isn't
in a position where he could help stack wood anymore, so we helped
her out this year. We got two whole chords done and it was fun to get
to know her.
Besides the service,
we just got a surprise snow storm Saturday afternoon and Sunday
morning. Luckily we got to church on time and safely and we learned
that when the highway gets covered in black ice, everyone drives with
their hazards on to warn the people driving behind them. It was cool
to see everyone just moving through the surprise ice/snow storm like
it was no big deal haha.
I love New England
and I hope to have more opportunities to serve others this week.

Tyler
