Independence Week

Alrighty folks, hope you all had a fantastic week. If you're still reading these I'm impressed because not much has happened these past weeks I feel like.

This week was actually really good. Starting off we got our new companion Elder F who is super legit. Crazy good at every sport so it's been a good time. We were also in the CTM together which is fun. As well as a welcome gift we helped this lady in our ward move. I wont go into detail about her but she definitely hoards things and it was an insane move for sure. Then we did service with another non-member family who dropped food off for us and we totally thought they were members! But when we found they weren't we immediately set up a time to come fix up their yard and started teaching them. They are a super awesome family and five pizzas is way too much for 8 missionaries but a welcome challenge.

Then along with the arrival of Elder F we added pickleball to this weeks games and began playing Secret Hitler. We are running out of games to play it's kind of ridiculous. Pickleball may be a grandpa sport(meaning its perfect for Elder D) but it's actually still really fun. Highly suggested but paddles are not worth the big bucks. (Simply mooch off someone who already owns them) Not really sure what else happened this week, the days have begun to blur together into an endless cycle and I've lost track of what day is which. (Literally I thought it was Wednesday on Friday this last week.)

Hope y'all are doing great. This time in quarantine, I've realized, is probably the best time I've had in coming closer to my Savior. The struggles and trials of pushed me closer to God in a way I didn't imagine. Use this time for the opportunity that it is. God knows how difficult this is and will bless us for our efforts.
