Twas inevitable.
We all knew one day we'd be in quarantine again. It was bound to happen. With numbers rising again and every other person testing positive, we knew it would happen. Just didn't want it to happen so soon!
On Thursday, we are sitting with a member creating a flyer for our Swahili branch when we get a phone call from our favorite Elder Pitcher! He had been feeling sick, but like disobedient missionaries we still saw him everyday. He calls us and shows us a computer screen that says he tested positive. Sooooo we panicked, left the literal doctors office we were at, and went home to quarantine. Then, a few days later, we started feeling sick. We are getting tested today, so pray for us! I haven't tested positive. Yet. :)
Anyway, before quarantine, we got my Swahili grandma on date! She is getting surgery, but she is working toward Dec 5th to be baptized. We hope that she will stay on date, but it will be good:) She said that from the moment she got in the country, me and sister Hyde have been like her new family. She's the only one left from her family that's alive because of the war in Africa, so she was so grateful for us. I love her.
We got to set up more refugee houses this week! We had six carts of stuff in Walmart and it was wild. It's so fun to set up the houses because I feel like an interior designer. I get to pick their bed spreads, how their kitchen is set up, etc. I love it. Lots of heavy lifting, but it's so fun! Imma be swole by the time I get home y'all, just wait💪
That's literally all that happened this week because we've been in quarantine the rest of the time. I'm going crazy. Y'all thought quarantine was hard? Try being a missionary. Just let that sink in. I'm screaming internally.
For my spiritual thought, I wanted to share a scripture that I've shared with a lot of people when it comes to Covid. It's Joshua 1:9. (It's so cute that you could also say Covid 1:9)
"Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest"
God is WITH US. Not just looking over us, but with us. We need to have courage. I've always heard that faith and fear can't exist at the same time. It's TRUE. When we have faith and trust in God, our fear goes away. Our problems don't go away, but our fear and worry about those problems can. God's got you.
Anyway, that's all for this week, folks. I'll probably be in quarantine next week, positive test or not. So, pray for me.
Love you all!!
