Today instead of having our normal Sunday church services, my ward was able to give service.
My ward was given the opportunity to go to the Randolph Training Center. It is a home for the severely handicapped. We got split into groups to go get our "friends" from their cottages and then bring them back to a gym, where we held primary. It was not quite and reverent like you would expect when you are in your church meetings but it was absolutely amazing. The spirit was so extremely strong and over powering, I loved it!!
I was partnered with a beautiful sweet lady named Tony. She was very shy and quite and kept to herself, but I could feel her sweet spirit so strongly I can't put it in words. Although she was unable to speak and couldn't carry on a conversation I could feel not only the love that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ not only has for her but also for me. It was an amazing experience. The whole time I could not help but smile, all the people there had such sweet spirits and are so much closer and know so much more about our Heavenly Father. I also felt such a true unconditional love for her.
I would love to be able to go all the time and spend time with these sweet spirits. I wish I could know more about them and their stories. I enjoyed being able to go and serve all of them. It was so awesome. It was wonderful and I want to do again, it made me get out of my confort zone and in exchange be able to feel the spirit and have a Christlike love.
