Video Calls and Fresh Air
Another week has come and gone and another transfer has come and gone as well. This week as we begin the new transfer I now officially have 3 transfers left in my mission. What!?! Right now the days just go by extremely slow but the weeks are going by super fast. I guess it could be worse right?
We also received transfer calls yesterday and my companion and I were pretty certain that we were both going to be staying together, especially considering the fact that we both whitewashed into this area and it was only our first transfer, but my companion is actually getting moved. He will be going to my favorite area from my mission, Lea Valley, and my new comp will be Elder Mepania who was also serving in Lea Valley while I was there haha. Pretty exciting stuff! I guess let's see how this transfer goes.
Some good things to point out from this week was that the weather was extremely nice and warm, especially for the first half of the week. We enjoyed going outside for our usual afternoon runs and really just soaking in the sun. We have also been asked to try and get creative and make 2 videos to post on a church Facebook page organized for our county. I'm not the most creative person but I'm sure we will be able to come up with some things!
We also had interviews this week, it wasn't anything too exciting but still it's pretty nice. The only tough thing for me is having to have super long video call meetings, that always gives me a pretty big headache afterward, but then we got to get outside and have some fresh air so it was nice.
I really look forward to the day where I can write emails about crazy stories from doing street contacting and getting yelled at by angry people, or seeing some strange things while out knocking on doors and visiting returning members. Hopefully that day can come soon, because I sure miss that time as a non quarantined missionary. But I am alive and I'm still healthy and safe, so I do have a lot to be grateful for. Any extra emails really help out a lot right now. I would be excited to hear from you all. Love and miss ya! Take care!
