Service Galore

Dear Everyone in the entire world and universe who read this! haha

I have to say first off, that yes, I did know about Salt Lake Comic Con, and yes I am jealous that a lot of people I know went to it this year, (including my family) and Yes I will take the first chance I get when I get home to go with all my geek buddies and we may never come home ;D haha I do also know that this week was a good week regardless of the fact comic con was this past week.

We got to help a less active member Brother Don Pearson this week with his work shop/storage area where he and his mother (whom he lives with) has put most of his fathers stuff and most of the random junk they both have. While cleaning out this storage place, we found so many cool things, treasures, and little nic naks! We found a ligit old telescope that did indeed work, 2 old school flash lights that looked like little garbage cans, or as Elder Wilson and I liked to call them the "First ever made light sabers!" haha and found a ton of sea shells, and other cool trinkets from when he and his family lived in puerto rico from the beaches and stuff. It was really cool! 

We also got the chance to go and help out with the Branch Blood Drive they had on friday this week. We were what they called the "Priesthood Body they needed" ;) haha Which ment that we basically had to be there to make sure everything in the building was ok and that no one was doing anything stupid when the blood drive was going on haha we did get to help with moving things in and checking people in as they came in to donate. 

While at the blood drive, president Gale (Branch President) came in to donate blood and while he was waiting for his turn, looked at me and said, "Elder Zenger, how long has it been since you have given a talk in sacrament meeting." I told him that the last time I did was when I boar my testimony in schoharie valley ward before I got sent here. He then told me," That doesn't count, that is just bearing your testimony." Then I told him, "well, I guess I am speaking tomorrow in church then haha" It was just a good opportunity to get up in front of people and to testify of the power of repentance while president Gale talked about the power of forgiveness. 

All in All, I have absolulty loved this week, and cannot wait to see what this week has in store for us all this week!

I love you all and hope and pray that all will be well for you and your families! 

Love,
Elder Anthony Zenger
