Hello everyone, hope you are all doing well!
This week was kinda crazy to say the least. Last Monday we had an emergency mission-wide meeting for the last couple hours of our P-day, we talked about how we needed to step up our game and focus as missionaries and servants for the Lord. It was really mind opening to me. My mindset on missionary work has changed yet again and it's making me stretch and grow in different ways but it is good for me!
We had our zone council and President Interviews this week, those were both really good! President Bell is just so awesome he helps me see clearer my purpose and helps me focus on what's important. This week I did lots of just focusing and re-shifting on what is most important to focus on and the answer I kept getting was "it's not about you" keep focusing on the friends we teach, the missionaries I lead and the members in this area and everything else will work out! That was really comforting to hear and feel in my heart.
Well the other set of wild news is that I tested positive for COVID, that was interesting. A while ago I started to get a sore throat and a cough. I thought it was just a cold but one other Elder in our apartment got it too and for a few days we didn't think too much of it. This other Elder went to the hospital to get it checked out. They tested him for COVID and he was positive. So we decided that I should test as well, we have a few rapid tests in our apartment and I tested positive. By that point my symptoms were pretty much gone but we quarintend ourselves for the next few days and today we are finally out of quarantine so that is nice it was a tough few days of being stuck inside.
We saw some super cool miracles come even though we were stuck inside however. We were doing some aera book calling and we felt prompted to call Gary. He answered and we started talking for about 10mins about prayer and how he wants to come closer to God. At the 10min mark he told us that he had joined someone else, Stacey, to the call and she had been listening in for the whole time! That was so cool, we kept talking for another 20 mins and set some awesome expectations with them both, Gary said he was willing to do whatever it took to follow Christ. The cool thing was that Gary said he never answers calls from numbers he doesn't know but he felt prompted to answer our call. Stacey said that when Gary puts her on hold she almost always hangs up on him but this time she felt prompted to just wait! It was so cool to see the hand of Heavenly Father in those small details!!
Well that's about all that happened this week. Oh, our friend Elizabeth came to church even though we weren't able to go and an awesome member, Sister Allan, sat with her and interpreted for her. It was so cool to see the ward helping her out!! If you ever have the chance to help the missionaries I highly recommend it!!
Hope you all have a great week!
