Well it was a short week this week not much to report! We
had exchanges this week so I got a new companion for the day that was fun I
guess but I missed Sister Brain! We did a lot of service this week! It really
changed me though. We helped one of the Elder’s investigators get all her stuff
out of her apartment because she was evicted. When we got there the house was a
mess and the lady Mary was really stressed out so we started packing up stuff
and soon this little girl came out of the back room and just hugged my legs. So
we played with her and kept her distracted while the Elder’s moved the stuff
out. Her name is Arianna she is 2
and Mary the lady we helped move is her grandma. Her mom doesn’t want to take
care of her so Mary does it. Well we got them all packed up and we moved them
out with no place for them to go. It broke my heart having to let this little
girl go I wanted to just take her with me she is so innocent and it is sad to
know that more than likely she will follow the same example set by her mother
and grandmother. It breaks my heart! There are 10,000 foster care kids in Georgia!
It makes me truly happy for the family I have and the Gospel that shows us the
way. I know that no matter how hard life gets because of the people around me I
would never have to worry about being in a situation like that! I will never
forget Arianna and the lesson she taught me.
