I love this ward so far. I have met a fair number of the members here and they all seem really nice and fun to be around. I have had a blast working here this week. I am super tired at the end of the day because me and Elder Dromey are giving it our all every day. Things are laying off and the work here in Sheffield 2 is moving forward. I think at least my mom will be happy to hear that Elder Dromey likes taking photos. He wants to make it a goal of ours that we take photos throughout the week. It’s been working so far.
One of our friends is named Kay and she has a 3 year old daughter called Charlotte. Charlotte was really quiet around us always and wouldn’t talk to us even though the missionaries have been coming over for a while. I made it my goal to become her friend. By the end of the week and after sharing a few stickers, I got her to talk to me and now she will come sit by us and smile when we see her. It made me feel really happy when she finally started smiling. It made me realise just how impactful the little acts of service can be in people’s lives. Sometimes people just need a friend. We just had to share a sticker or two with her and it helped her out. For others, they might need a smile or a sincere thank you, we don’t know what they have happening in their lives, but we do know how to reach out. I know that God often chooses to love us through others. I hope we can all find a way to reach out this week to someone we normally wouldn’t. Whether it be someone who is alone, or someone who we don’t like, or whoever, I know the world will be a little happier as we all take a chance to share
God’s light in small but significant ways
Love you all, have a great week,
Elder Pace
