Hey all! How are you all doing this fine day? Life has been anything but normal these last few weeks but I think we are are getting used to it a little bit I think??.. Anyways, so I got sent home with everything that is happening. Pretty crazy stuff let me tell you! They had me on a flight to Los Angeles and then to SLC and then to Pocatello. The air plane people were changing all of our seats so that we were still social distancing ourselves from everyone on the flight. Haha pretty interesting traveling these days. But let me take it back to when I was still in Mexico 😁
I was in quarantine so I had so much time to do anything that I wanted honestly. Study the scriptures for 3 or 4 hours, work out for 2 hours and eat food for the rest of the time. Haha basically the life. But something a missionary told me is actually kind of true. He said that while you are able to work you just want to take a 30 minute nap at home... But when you are stuck in the house all day long you just can't help but say, I just want to go out and work and never come back to the house. Basically my feelings about the whole thing right now.
In my 3 to 4 hour Book of Mormon study haha! I was able to learn a ton everyday actually. I was reading in 3rd Nephi when Jesus Christ came to visit the Americas. And it just makes me always ponder how I am living my life. If I am living in a way that if the Lord came today would I be ready to stand in his presence? I love this life because it is all about choices. And we get to decide in every moment in our lives what we are going to choose.
I am so excited to be home with my family for General Conference and I invite you all to keep preparing yourselves for this special time in our lives to listen to a Prophet of God. I love you and am grateful for all you do for me and the missionaries throughout the world.
Doubt not; fear not
