Covid Troubles and Freezing Rain, January 11, 2022

Hello everyone! I hope all is going well with you all!! 

This week flew by once again and it was a wild one for sure! COVID-19 has been spiking here in the Champaign-Urbana area which is a real bummer because most of our teaching pool has it or is just battling some other sickness so most people aren't up to talking. So it was a little slower teaching wise. 

We did have a few good lessons with members over Zoom. ( we had to quarantine, I'll get to that in a minute) but they were solid lessons we also had a few over the phone lessons. I definitely like in-person lessons the best but I'll take what I can take I guess. 

So about COVID. One of the Elders in our district tested positive and me, my companion and the other two elders we live with were all exposed to him spo we had to all go and get tested. gratefully we all tested negative! However while we were waiting for our test results we had to quarantine so that was interesting. We were able to do lots of work via facebook and the time still went by pretty quick. I'm definitely glad to be out of quarantine and a negative result.

The freezing rain was interesting for sure. We woke up in the morning and there was a thin layer of ice all over the whole ground. It literally felt like walking on an ice rink the whole time, it was crazy. We weren't gonna go driving anywhere but a member called asking for a blessing (we were already out of quarantine) so we whipped over to the hospital and gave a blessing and only had a few close calls while driving... :).

Transfer news came in! Elder Davis and I are staying together. I'm glad that there are still lots of things I need to learn so I'm glad I don't have to lead out quite yet in this area. The other two elders that we live with are staying together as well so we've all the same. I'm happy about that! 

Anyways I hope you are all staying safe and happy out there!
