BREAKING NEWS: I'M BORED!

This past week was Week 4 of the transfer and it has been THE LONGEST WEEK EVER! 

Tuesday I went on exchanges with Sister Clawson (she is the sweetest and I love her!) We were still knocking that morning, so we went and tracted a couple complexes. Then that afternoon, we got a call that we couldn't tract anymore...we just went street contacting and then had a booth in IV with the Elders and the other YSA Sisters! 

Wednesday was super fun! We set up a booth in Santa Barbara down by the pier! We talked to people who were passing about where they were from and about family history!

Thursday, Sister Preece and I went on exchanges! I MISSED HER! That morning we had a zoom call and they told us we couldn't street contact anymore! We are now 100% online teaching and finding. We have been approved by area leader to hold baptisms but only 10 people can be there! We all look like we were super lazy, but we literally can't go out and do work! That night, some members told us that the Governor of California has asked that everyone stay in their houses...

We have been in "quarantine" for 4 days, including today, and we are all going a little crazy! We are allowed to exercise for an hour, and go for walks / hikes throughout the day. We do crafts a lot and facebook find!

On Sunday morning, we had another zoom call and found out that 23 missionaries from our mission are going home today! Some are going home a few weeks early, and some are going home due to health concerns! It is so sad to see them go...I know how hard it can be! But they all bore their testimonies of the Savior and that they know God has a plan for their lives! 

This is God's work. He knows exactly the state of the world. He is preparing us. This time on my mission is an opportunity to grow closer to the Savior and to learn to rely on him! 

"The work will go forward boldly, nobly, and independent. No unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing." - Joseph Smith
