Covid-Free and Snow!

Hey Everyone!

On Thursday we had a Covid19 test, then went back into quarantine haha. Friday afternoon we found out that we are all negative! We got right to work and have really had a good time since being out! 

It's snowing here in Iowa!! Sunday was the first day that we woke up to a little bit of snow, today it is really coming down! I am pretty excited because growing up in California, you don't really experience that! I am also really dreading it, because it is super cold haha. I bought a winter coat to keep me warm for these last weeks!




Tomorrow I am going on a "Sprint Trip". This is where all the missionaries in their last transfer go to Nauvoo for the day! We go to the Temple, Carthage Jail, and Joseph and Hyrum Smith's graves! I am really excited for it! I hope it all works out well. 

Other than that, I have been trying to figure out school. That is a whole ordeal by itself haha. Slowly but surely.... 

I am just so grateful to be a missionary. It has been my greatest joy this far in my life! I have learned so much about the Savior and His Gospel. I am really grateful for this experience!

We had a really cool experience with the family that is preparing to be baptized! We taught the Word of Wisdom and quickly realized that there will be some things that need to change. We have made an "Action Plan" so that they will be able to keep the Word of Wisdom. At first they were a little bit hesitant, but the Lord's commandments bring joy! After talking through it and explaining commandments, they were so excited to start keeping it! It is so awesome to see people change their lives. Such a powerful experience. Love ya guys!
