We have covid, smell it in

 On Wednesday night we had dinner with our newest member, Emma. She made some amazing Filipino food and we were able to start teaching her husband! 

The next morning we had morning Devo and at the end PresidentLarson told us there's a 2nd wave of COVID going around so if you feel sick please stay home.

I had a sore throat. . .

Soooo we stayed home. And I just got more and more sick. Saturday morning was our dear friend Pugal's baptism. So we went to go fill up the font. The sisters in our district brought me a covid test. So AT the baptism I did the test and….it had 2 lines. Thus I officially had covid-19. So we left the baptism before it even started and watched our best friend Pugal get baptized over zoom. 

Mega oof. The rest of the week was quarantining. I have napped for probably around 20 hours this week, drank my cup hundreds of times, and studied around 20 hours too. I also beat everybody in Risk (I just put everything in India).

Please email me, I have never been this bored in my whole life and were gonna be stuck for at least another week.

And I started the Book of Mormon again. This time just studying "Faith" 

I started the Old Testament and have made it halfway through Exodus. It's very . . . Entertaining.

Elder Johnson found an 'Open' sign, like a neon one you see up in the window of an ice cream shop and so he put it up in our window. Then some indian woman came and knocked on our door asking to come in. So we tried to give her a Book of Mormon and I said some Hindi things. Then she left. I miss doing Hindi work. It's been too long. 

The only other cool things worth reporting are that members in the ward keep buying food for us, i have played everybody(all 4 elders) in othello (a minute to learn, a lifetime to master) multiple times and only lost twice, Elder Porter has been wearing his mask since we first got sick….he sleeps with it on, and the other day we were disinfecting everything with wipes and we put one on the fan and so it smelled like disinfectant and I said "smell it in" (on accident) and so now they make fun of me for it. (I was going for 'breath it in'). And I made brownies from a box (). 

I think the coolest thing I've learned so far from the Old Testament is, and bear with me because it may seem a little strange, is to marry somebody who will help you keep your covenants. I can explain! 

But first, I promise I'm learning a whole lot more than that! This is just one of my favorites as well as something I think a lot of people don't learn from the stories I'm reading, which makes me feel unique.

Basically in Exodus chapter 4 Moses forgot to do something for his son. This thing had covenantal importance and it was such a big deal he forgot to do it that the lord was gonna kill Moses. But the lord didn't kill Moses because his wife grabbed a rock and did the thing for their son. 

She then calls Moses something that seems rude but is actually significant because of the covenant and many other things that "blood" represents. 

Maybe I'm wrong. Idk. But to me, I think it's clear that I need to marry somebody who will help me keep my covenants. And if you're already married then you need to be the 'Zipporah' and help your spouse keep their covenants. So there's that…. 

Please email me, I have never been this bored in my whole life and we still have a week lol. 

Love you all!
