Home Teaching

My home teaching companion was supposed to make appointments for us to go visiting tonight, but he forgot that his wife had to go out and he had to watch the baby. So he said we'll just try better next month. Usually it's all-or-nothing with us Elders for home teaching, but something is better than nothing. So I went out to the garden, picked some tomatoes, and took them out to a few people.

It was a very small thing on my part, but doing even a little bit of service makes you feel good.
The father of one family recently had a kidney transplant. I didn't know this, but they don't take your old kidney out, they just squish your guts over a bit and put it in the front. He said what was so astounding to him was his mental clarity since the surgery. I guess the toxins that are usually flushed out by your kidneys can make you feel tired and sluggish when they accumulate. Operation stories are always good, especially when they turn out for the best.
