Heeellooooo.
To start off I have some unfortunate news.
I had a two year streak going of not having covid.
And exactly a week ago today...my streak was lost.
I was actually a little disappointed, but, hey! Now I have antibodies for a few weeks so that's exciting!
As a result of my covid we were in quarantine the whole week and it was an awesome week. Here are some nice things that happened and things that I learned.
1. At the start of the week I told myself I was going to work like crazy and find even more people to teach than we would if we had a normal schedule and I wasn't going to slack a single moment and on and so on and so on.
1.a. Well, we spent hours each day doing Facebook work...and basically no one was interested the whole week. Ouch.
1.b. what did I learn? My plans aren't God's plans and life is meant to be hard. If it went the way I wanted it to every time, I wouldn't learn anything. And it would be really boring.
1.c. On Saturday and yesterday, the most random people wanted to call us. We hadn't even been chatting with them or really had any contact before our calls. And they were interested in learning more. I feel like it always happens like that🙃 God is very, very good to me.
2. Ok that was super long, but this one is that everything happens for a reason. Me and Sister Zernzach connected a lot this week. More than we have in a long time. We laughed a lot. We talked a lot. And I love her a lot😊 and we aren't even sick of each other yet.
Tomorrow we emerge from the depths of quarantine and I'm excited. There are amazing things ahead. Sometimes the Lord gives me Covid so that I am still for a moment and I remember Him and learn some things He wants me to learn.
As I was listening to general conference, I was so touched by how many times it was mentioned that we need to give our heart to the Savior.
I am trying everyday to figure out what this means for me. Someone talks about the Savior and about all He's done and I can't even express in words how grateful I am and how badly I want Him to have my heart. I wish I could describe it better. It's just never enough. Nothing ever feels like it's enough after all He's done.
But, I know our desires matter. And the effort we put forth each. day. matters. Maybe I let a lot of distractions get in the way all the time and maybe He doesn't have my whole heart yet. But, I know Jesus Christ knows my heart and sees what I want. And that's enough for now as I work closer to Him each day.
I love you🌞😊 what do you feel in your heart? Deep questions, but they were on my mind😄
Have a wonderful week filled with moments of the sweetest, happiest joy!!
Love, Sestra Call
Our district brought us Indian food and a care package. They are sincerely, the best.
We found a pretty, blossoming, springtime tree!!
