Hello Friends and Family! I hope everyone had a great week.
Monday at Interfaith I put in all the volunteer hours into our database, let me tell ya there are a lot of volunteers and this took me the entire day, but I definitely felt accomplished when I was done.
Today (Friday) I got to go to a NCPC (North County Philanthropy Council) Volunteer Award luncheon. This sweet family that has been volunteering at interfaith for around 12 years working in the Soup Kitchen received the award. There were probably about 98 different organizations that gave out awards. It was such a cool event to go to and you just feel so good leaving the luncheon knowing how many people are doing so much good in the community.
Tuesday at Habitat for Humanity I helped build a shed. It was awesome I helped with some framing, put up the plywood, built some shelves and started on the door!
Wednesday I may or may not have spent the day at the 2nd happiest place on earth, but don't worry because I spent Thursday at the #1 Happiest Place on Earth! :)
I have loved taking part in The prophets challenge that he gave to all the women at General Conference to read the Book of Mormon by the end of the year and mark verses about Jesus Christ. While doing this I came upon Alma 5:61 which talks about how Christ is our Shepherd, and we are His Sheep. As we listen to His guidance through the Holy Ghost, He will always protect us... from any ravenous wolf. I encourage you all to go back through your notes or through talks from this past general conference to remind yourself what you can be doing to follow the prophets council!
