Glendale, California:  Week 19

Well, we're about 10 days into the quarantine, and things are still going well actually. 

All us elders are becoming a lot closer because of this. It's been fun getting to know them better and playing Frisbee and soccer in the church for our daily exercise.

We're still making lots of phone calls to people, sharing scriptures and doing whatever we can to help. Despite the difficulty of doing missionary work right now, I've really been able to see a lot of blessings this week. We have such a supportive ward helping us, and I know our Heavenly Father will continue to take care of the needs of all his children. I'm so happy I get to share scriptures about Jesus Christ with others, and hear their great spiritual experiences as they pray and read the scriptures. 

Unfortunately, one of the elders staying in our apartment had to go home to Chile, along with several others from our mission who came from out of country. It is sad to see him go, he was one of the nicest and funniest elders I've met. Plus, he was obsessed with cleaning the apartment, he spent a lot of his Pdays cleaning the bathroom and kitchen. With him gone, our shiny nice apartment will be the next thing to leave us.

On Saturday we did a competition in our zone, who could make the best reenactment of a scripture story. Me made a video about Samuel the Lamanite, and it was pretty great. Unfortunately the sisters in our zone made a Laban and the plates video that absolutely destroyed ours, theirs was much better. 

Here's the link, hopefully this works:

Thanks everyone for the support and kind emails, I really appreciate it.  Best of luck to everyone as we continue to navigate these unique times.

We have increased family history time now, and I got a bit carried away with the FamilySearch activities.  So here's me if I was Armenian, I guess.

Also me in my Nephite outfit for the video.
