We Did A Lot of Service This Week

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.
