Me? A Father?

Sup guys, as my title refers to i am now training. For those who don't understand in the mission when you first enter the mission field you pretty much don't know a lot so you have to be trained by another missionary or two. Your trainer(s) are considered your dad(s) and if you're the trainer then you get a son. Well it finally happened, Elder F and I get to train a new guy which means we lost Elder D but I think I need to mention that my child has no idea what he's getting into. Pranks will be pulled and I will update you all on what we get him on. Currently he thinks I'm Brazilian so we will see how long I can pull that off for.

This week was another great week. We got to do a ton of service which included one day where we did 8 hours of service where we literally got rid of a jungle(a literal jungle) in her backyard. Then afterwards we got to check out the member's guns (mom please don't post any pictures of us with guns on FB) not much else happened though.

However I was talking with my mom this week about a mindset shift I've been trying to work on. That's the idea that we aren't in "quarantine" but that this is the new normal. Because a lot of the time we use quarantine as an excuse, an excuse to not work as hard or not do the things we know we should be doing. But when we realize this is the new normal it gives us the ability to use the time that we have to improve ourselves more. I feel like this time is one we can improve ourselves so much if we look for it. Thanks everyone and I'm praying for y'all.
