The Days of COVID (Week 26)

This week was something I thought was past me and my time as a missionary, but on Sunday me and my companion both woke up feeling kind of sick and then Monday my companion was worse than I was, and the next day wasn't any better so the mission doctor told us to stay home until we didn't have any symptoms. So we stayed home until Saturday. So we did some zoom lessons that actually worked out pretty good and some Sister missionaries in our zone found an old area book in their house and gave it to us.  We called a ton of old investigators in there and we saw some cool miracles from that. Another exciting thing is that I'm learning Chuukese! There's a need for it and my Mission President has seen a need for as well, so I told him I am willing to learn it. So, for 30 minutes a day, I get to study it; however the only resource I have for learning Chuukese is the Chuukese Book of Mormon so I go back and forth between the English and Chuukese Book of Mormon. It's fun haha. But I asked a guy "Fiti ewe nenien Jises Kraist iwe wor papatais." Which is "Follow the example of Jesus Christ and be baptized." And the guy understood so that was awesome, haha.


My companion and I have seen some awesome miracles from being bold and it's exciting stuff! I hit my 6 months on Wednesday so that's nuts. Also I just love teaching families and thinking about them one day in the sealing room of the Temple and it's just the greatest feeling!


How blessed we are to have the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ, which allows us to return to our Heavenly Father's presence one day and live with Him and our Savior, Jesus Christ, forever, becoming like Them! It's the most exciting thought!

Love you all!
