This week has been kind of crazy I wish
I could show you the pictures, but I forgot my camera and I am livid!! So I
will send them next week!
It is weird that I have already been in
this area for a month. It seems like I got here a couple of days ago! I am
getting tan if you were wondering.
So Monday of this week Elder Clement
and I got a call from a 90 year old WWII veteran that said he had a leak under
his house and no one in the ward had time to help him, so we were called to the
job and it was awesome!! So we walk in and see this 1 foot by 1 foot hole in
the cement that HE hammered out!! So we started digging and we got about a foot
and half deep, then we climbed in the hole under his house following the pipe
for about 20 feet until I found the leak while we were in this tiny hole. I
then cut the pipe and patched it up and this was the coolest service project I
have had my entire mission. BUT we should not be the ones doing it, there are
300 hundred members in that ward and he called everyone and we were the only
ones willing to help him! I was livid! Our whole religion in based on helping
others and being selfless! I know there are a lot of really caring members,
don’t get me wrong, but we as a whole need to step up our game and really try
to remember to forget yourself! haha
This week we also went to Robert’s 38th
birthday party. He has Downs Syndrome and his whole family was there. Robert
and I have become best friends over the last few weeks and it was really fun to
be there with his family and teach them all. We told them all about the resurrection
and how they will be together, and Robert will be made perfect. He already is
perfect, but his body will be too. It was a really powerful moment for everyone
and it really reminded me why I am out here and how many people really are
walking in the dark with no hope for the future. So we need to help give them
that hope and faith for the future, times get hard but through every hard time
we learn something.
I love you all. Sorry my email was
short today, idk why it is, but I will do better.
Love Keegan
