Be Happy Challenge #2

Preform an act of service for a sister in the ward everyday this week.

This challenge of preforming an act of service for a sister is something that can be really simple. An act of service can be anything from text messaging a sister and asking her about her day to picking something up for a sister while at the grocery store. Service is not always about doing a physical act for someone, although sometimes that is the best way to lift someones burdens; service is about taking the time to think of someone else. Service is about being selfless.

As you think about the sisters in our ward, remember that everyone has their challenges and trials, and that part of being in Relief Society is providing relief for your fellow sisters in the gospel.

Serve and be happy!

  1. This Be Happy Challenge has taught me a lot of things. One of them being that service can be performed in a variety of ways.

    This week's beginning was less than perfect because I am less than perfect and I make mistakes. Starting off the week on such a low note not only made me lose the Spirit, but it also made me feel like a failure. It took me until around Wednesday to realize that I am not expected to be perfect, none of us are, I am only expected to do my best. I must say that doing my best this week was a challenge, but now that it is over and I am so very grateful that tomorrow I have the opportunity to renew my covenants with my Heavenly Father and to receive forgiveness for my imperfection.

    I feel as though the little acts of service I did this week really helped me to regain the companionship of the Spirit and that it helped me to keep the sisters of the ward in mind.
