Hola Hola
This week was super awesome :) I'll start with the Birthday
highlights!
Saturday morning we went to go do some yard work and also to
help someone move. As we went out to the car, we saw that someone had put a
bunch of streamers and stickynotes alllll over it. The inside had a ton of
balloons as well! It was pretty cool, the sisters in my district were the ones
that did it but they enlisted the help of the Elders to distract me and to grab
the keys.
During the move they had a couch with a hide-away bed thing
that folds out and as 2 members were pushing it out of a room the bed sprung
out and absolutely destroyed my toes haha. It's all swollen and it hurts a
bunch now but definitely not broken. That was the worst part of the day haha.
Later E Skinner took me out to lunch at Zips a super good
burger place then I went to talk to my parents on the phone for a bit and that
was great! Normally we can't call home on our birthdays but because of the
corona we are allowed to once during the week. Then, we got some sushi and
headed back to the apartment. When we got back I started to eat and then the
rest of the zone started singing happy birthday! They were all hiding in our
backyard waiting :) it was super fun they gave me a few funny little presents.
Overall it was a super awesome birthday, I'm grateful for
the missionaries I get to serve around and that they wanted to make my day
special.
We had a mission conference this week with Elder Whiting
from the 70 and it was way awesome. He talked about how we need to use this
time of isolation to deepen our conversion and develop Christ like attributes.
He explained a method of studying the Book of Mormon where you only focus on
one Christ like attribute and you study on a copy you have never marked before.
The cool thing was about a week ago I started doing that exact thing!
For the rest of the week
- we did a ton of video calls
- a district council about how to slay dragons
- the Williams bought us groceries!!!
- Sis Langford's birthday was the 22nd so there was another
party
- we did service for a lady named Julie and she was super
nice. She needs prayers though she is going through a really tough time.
Anyways that's it! God lives! He is good! He loves you so
much!
