It's always cool to serve!

Hey guys!  This week was great.  It was a quiet week but were able to 
make some good things happen from it.  Today for P-day we went to a 
trampoline park.  A good time was had by all!  

Tuesday we helped with a sweet service project with the English Elders.  
We went down to one of the churches in the area and helped with their 
food bank.  Every Tuesday they give out a bunch of food to the homeless 
people in the area.  We went and helped them set everything up and get 
ready in the morning.  We didn’t end up passing out the food but it was 
really cool to see the church - plus it's always cool to serve!  It was so nice 
to talk to people from another church and not have them hate on us.  We 
were all just there to serve and that’s all that really mattered. 

Wednesday and Thursday were exchanges.  It was awesome because I 
got to serve with Elder Gonzalez again!  This is the first time I have been 
around him since we served together here in Little Rock about a year ago.  
It was just like old times being in our old area together.  We weren’t able 
to teach a lot of people but it was great to catch up.  Then on Friday Elder 
Anderson was sick so we stayed in.  That day was a little long for me but 
he got better so it was worth it to stay in and rest.  We worked a little on 
Saturday since he was feeling better.   

Sunday was great!  We had an awesome dinner appointment with a less 
active family.  Then Elder Anderson and I had a good talk about where we 
are on our missions and where we want to get too.  Good stuff!  It rained 
one day and I found out that my slick tires have no traction in water. I can 
basically power slide into a 180 with them.  Good times!   Love you guys! 

Love Elder Merrill
