Covid 19 & Quarantine






 So I took the test on Monday and sure enough, I got Covid! So we spent this week in quarantine. We could drive around, go through drive thrus and go for walks. Other than that, we chilled inside.


I wasn't able to taste anything for about five days, but now I am almost back to normal. It is similar to if I burnt my tongue. The rest of my mouth can taste, but not my tongue. While I couldn't taste very much, I could taste sugary things. I ate a lot of mango and yogurt! Chocolate was always a let down and things like eggs, potatoes, and beans, I couldn't taste at all.

Every single Latina in the whole world (not even an exageration) told me to drink ginger, honey and lemon to get cured. They are precious:)

We still did missionary work, just no in-person visits. We contacted a lot of people and had videocalls with members. My spanish has greatly improved! 

I was tired to my core this week. I felt so exhausted that I started questioning if I have ever had energy in my life, or if this is how it has always been. I started to think I would never have energy again, either. The mind games were the hardest part of this whole experience. And overall, I don't recommend getting covid. One star on yelp. 

Reading the book if Matthew in the bible helped bring me through this week. Reading the acts and words of the Savior, plain and simple, gave me the strength to not cry all the time haha. Amazing. I know He is my Redeemer

Miracles

  We had miracles on Sunday  People that we are teaching went to church like CRAZY. The most amazing instance was when a girl who is at her dad's house in another city 50% of the time went to the ward over there. Big win because her dad doesn't like the church. She is 13 and making these decisions on HER OWN!  On Friday, we drove to a guy's house that told us we could stop by anytime. But when we stopped by he wasn't home. But as we were driving away we saw him in the far off distance in his backyard. SO we yelled his name from the other side of the yard and climbed down the retaining wall and started teaching him  Less than 10 days. I am going to soak this all up. Love you Sister Hall

Hello, Well I was sitting on the plane just relishing in my last moments of no expectations. I thought to myself, "enjoy this while you can, because it is going to be non-stop work, obedience and strict schedules for the next fifteen months." Hahaaaa what a joke. Expectations met reality and it hurt a little. I'm in a trio with two Samoan sisters serving in the Samoan area. We are stationed in West jordan and the area we cover is bigger than my actual mission! Sister Tofaeono is my trainer and my other comp's name is Sister Mariner. Sister T is very understanding, chill and extremely genuine. I love that about her. She is so chill in fact that when i ask for guidance or about the rules, she says, "do what ever you want." And sister mariner is beautiful and mellow. They are both from Samoa and they speak Samoan as their first language. They speak it to each other a lot so i am kinda in my own world A lot of the time. One thing that is weird for me is that the...
