But, service... There's this family in the area of the zone leaders. It's the parents and 4 little kids. The Dad got baptized a couple weeks ago. He's a real convert. He gave his testimony after his baptism and the Lord really changed his heart. His whole character changed since the first time I met him. But the wife is still not a member. She almost got baptized the same day as her husband, but she ended up saying no. So, last Friday we tried giving service. We got to their house at about 7:30 in the morning, and basically what we had to do was move this GIANT pile of dirt about 10 ft. away, on the other side of their house, a little further down the hill that they live on. I wasn't really sure what the point was, but I think they wanted to put it where they have their corn growing. I wasn't really sure how efficient it was, but we started doing it. They only had one shovel, and one wheel barrel, so it went a little slow, but we went at it. Does that count as a service story? I just really want her to make the same decision as her husband. I really can see a change in him. The gospel is meant for families; families that can be eternal, and they can't really be eternal if only half the family is a member. But she'll do it. She's been to church several times now and she really likes it.
