Hey Everyone,
How are you all doing today? If you aren't fully quarantined, how's the weather? We seem to be getting a weird mix right now around the end of march. Weird, huh?
Anyway, how is everything on your end? I know life for missionaries is just getting crazier by the day. For we've progressed over the last week from having no church meetings to being in an almost full quarantine. We're still super grateful that our members are willing to step up their game and extending an infinitely larger number of invitations now that we are restricted from most of the ways we would find.
As of now, we aren't quite confined to our apartments, but we also aren't allowed to go in anyone's home for any reason. No tracting, no moving. All we have is to either walk around town trying to catch people outside, or working through online tools. It is getting more increasingly difficult to work, not going to lie. But it is all good. That's just the time we live in at the moment.
We've had some cool experiences though, for example, we have a few members that are trying to get their friends to agree to do online lessons with us. That would be sweet. Plus, we have the privilege of housing Elder Coffey for an undetermined amount of time. So that puts a fun twist in things, all while also trying to figure out all of our Going home Crap.
Which brings me to an important announcement that came out last week, that I believe I omitted from the email only because we didn't have any details yet. But now I can formally announce it. Due to the Covid-19 situation, I am going to be returning home earlier than expected. My release date has been changed and moved to Apr. 11th instead of May 23rd. It will be very sad to go early, but I know that God is mindful of what is happening, and is there to assist us in our trials.
So, this week in the Book of Mormon, it was the Allegory of the Olive tree. There is so much that we can learn about Christ, and his work by the analogy that the prophets used. It is super cool. We learned so much, and I know that you can too as you put forth the effort needed to learn about Christ. And I also know that the Holy Ghost will help you in this time of struggle and desperation.

Well, I think that wraps up this week. Hopefully next week will add a fun spark to the whole adventure. Stay safe and healthy. I'll talk to y'all next week.
Love,
