I'll tell ya what folks, if this weekend didn't make you wanna listen to country music, eat some apple pie, watch some baseball, and crack open an ice cold mountain dew, you're not American. Unfortunately, all I could do was crack open a few cold Dew’s and yell 'Merica. That was probably the most exciting part of this week.
To start off on a good note, a member hooked it up with a bunch of groceries for us this week and that was super nice of her! She has a son on a mission in Virginia and was saying "if I do something nice for you then the members there will help my son!". Just shows how great the members are here!
This was definitely the slowest week of the mission for sure because we had like a 1% success rate. Like there really is nothing that happened this week haha. I try to look at the positives but it can be tough.
We had interviews with president and we just had a normal interview and he asked how I was doing. I told him that quarantine sucks and how bored I get. He told me to focus on my personal study and it will get better, so I did that. I have been reading lots of conference talks from this last conference and of course the Book of Mormon. Straight up the Book of Mormon is the best and I love it. I like to think of how much I relate to it even when it took place over 2000 years ago! When I catch myself complaining about quarantine I try to remind myself about the missionaries in the Book of Mormon and remember how much harder they had it. Even though it's been a rough time in quarantine I still see God's hand in my life and try my best to share it with others.
Love you all!
Stay sweet!
Stay free, 'merica!
