Hey everyone! I hope you all had a good week! It was a little crazy here in Everett, here's what happened:
Monday: WE GOT TO GO TO THE TEMPLE!! Yeah I know it's a Monday but the Seattle Temple did a special night where it was open for just YSA-aged people to come to the temple and we got permission to go with! Man, it was so awesome and much needed! I realized how much I miss being able to go to like 5 different temples that are all within 30 minutes of each other..haha. Anyway, so that was pretty much the best part of the day and week.
Tuesday: We didn't go to the horse farm in the morning because Sis Ballard wasn't feeling well. And our friend David was also feeling sick so we couldn't meet with him either. So we did some things in the apartment and then went out for finding. The last door that we knocked the guy opened the door and I told him who we were. I asked if he wanted to hear a message about Jesus Christ and he said "Oh yeah! Let me just grab my bible." Yeah, you already know where this is going. We talked with him for a while, but ended up leaving a Book of Mormon with him. So maybe something good will come from that!
Wednesday: We had District Council in the morning and then a pretty good lesson with our Elders Quorum president about Joseph Smith. It was really awesome! Then we had outreach and we had a good time trying to see some less active members of the ward.
Thursday: ZONE CONFERENCE!! I love zone conference! We talked a lot about the importance of being yourself and seeing how your talents and skills can help the work. I'm sure all of us have heard this a lot. but it applies to everything we do, not just missionaries. You are who you are for a reason and no one can replace you. Anyway, that was all super awesome. We were told that the church is also taking lots of precautions with the Coronavirus for missionaries. Things change day to day but they are doing their best to keep us all safe.
Friday: Crazy day! The assistants called the night before to tell Sis Ballard that the depart temple trip was going to be Friday and they were leaving early in the morning. So, we got up and got ready then went to the mission office at 7:45am. I went on a little exchange with Sis. West while both of our companions went. Then shortly after they got home, President got a phone call saying the temple was closing that day due to the Coronavirus! Crazy right?! They got in just in time! So that was pretty neat.
Saturday: Kind of a slow day. We now can't go to the horse farm because of the Coronavirus so we need to find other things to fill up our day. We contacted about half of our ward to set up lessons for next week so hopefully that will help! We had lunch with one of our members and that was really fun! Then we had a meeting with Gareth from the Elders Quorum. He's so awesome! But yeah that was the day.
Sunday: All of our church meetings got canceled. It was sad but, I understand that we don't want anyone else getting sick. But we had a bunch of lessons with our members. What I think is really neat with everything happening here is that even though we can't go to church, we already have a home- centered program given to us from our prophet. If that alone doesn't testify that President Nelson isn't a true prophet I don't know what does! Pretty neat stuff!
Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well and not getting sick! Times are rough, but if we keep our faith in the Lord we can "with surety hope for a better world"(Ether 12:4). Be smart, wash your hands, and trust in the Lord! I love you all and hope you have a good week!
