A Free Haircut
It's hard to come up with exciting emails during these times, but I tried to do my best haha. We just focused a lot on reaching out to members and also doing lots of exercising, having some good times doing that! Luckily the week was much much better than last week.
Tuesday (Apr 21): Today was the day that the bathroom got cleaned. I put in a grind in the morning to scrub the floors, the bathtub/shower, the toilet, and the sink. And now we can officially say the whole flat is cleaned up and looking great, now just gotta maintain it. The zone leaders came to do a device audit this morning and then like an hour afterward they found out they actually weren't supposed to travel for that haha. Oh well, at least we saw some new faces. We did some work and exercise, and a member dropped off dinner for us tonight so we were stoked about that and it tasted great! Pretty good day.
Wednesday: Well it was a fun day haha. I woke up in the morning just absolutely sick of having long hair, and we found some supplies in the flat to cut hair so I told my companion I trusted him to give me a haircut. He was hesitant at first because he didn't think it would be good but I didn't care, I just wanted some short hair again.
So it was funny I chilled in the bathtub for about an hour while he tried to do his thing haha. It turned out alright, I would say a 7/10 which is pretty good for a free haircut from a companion on their first try lol. The rest of the day was just a usual schedule of work, exercise, and eating haha.
Thursday & Friday: Alright I'm just gonna combine these two days because it was pretty much the same thing. But the highlight of these 2 days was the exercise for sure. We have this route that we have figured out is roughly 4 miles. So on these 2 days we timed ourselves to see how quickly we could do it. Thursday we came in with a nice 37 minute time, but we were determined on Friday to do better. Friday we managed to run the whole 4 miles without having a walking break and we finished it up in 34 mins and 14 seconds. Wow it was great but boy were we dead after haha. This run is amazing because we get all sorts of scenery too. Grass hills, forest, and some dirt roads as well. Plus the weather has been incredible so mega bonus and it's sooo nice!
Saturday: Nothing too crazy happened today, it was just another day full of online work and exercising. Today we still did our 4 mile route but definitely did not try to beat our time haha. Our legs were absolutely exhausted so we took a few breaks along the way. It's always nice to get some fresh air outside.
Sunday: It was a good Sabbath day. We were able to join the sacrament meeting of one of the families in the ward, and then later in the evening that family came to drop us off some dinner! They're great. Also we had the sacrament and did our own thing, and then we did a bit of online work and had a nice Sunday walk in some more beautiful weather, so it was fantastic 👍 apart from that nothing else exciting happened.
I don't have anything else to report. Feel free to shoot me an email and to reach out. It's always good to hear from others, take care and stay safe everyone!

Just to show off the beauty of Guildford. These are the kinds of things we see every day going out for a run and to walk around.
