I'm so Grateful I Got COVID

October 18, 2022

Well hello everyone! It's been another week, this will not be too eventful as you can tell from the title haha.

Good things:

- Kamloops members are seriously amazing.

- The work does not cease even with COVID!!!

- We got golf clubs haha

- I got a new desk chair that's so comfy, and it was free!!!

- Elder Achal had his 21st birthday!!!

Bads: 

- I got COVID haha

- COVID makes missionary work boring haha.

- I want to go outside haha.

- Splits canceled

- Exchanges canceled

- Lessons canceled

- Services canceled

- etc.

Better than good!!:

- Hitesh has decided to get baptized!!

- Remember the one email I sent where I said we had too much food? Well now we have even more haha.

The members: Our members are seriously amazing! They not only provided us with covid tests, but gave us lots and I mean lots of food! They gave us lots of support, and even came to wish Elder Achal Happy Birthday! They brought over cake, ice cream, and all sorts of things! They have been absolutely amazing this week!

The work: Covid did not stop us from doing missionary work. We found ways to teach using zoom, Facebook, members, etc. We actually found people to be a lot more receptive on Facebook while we were stuck at home haha.

Hitesh!:  On Elder Achal's 21st birthday, Hitesh decided that he wants to be baptized! He has done his baptismal interview, and is set to be baptized next Saturday the 22nd!! We have to teach him a couple more things this week, but he is ready to go, we are so excited for him and that he is wanting to make this commitment and take the next step on the strait and narrow path!!

COVID:  Thankfully, none of the other elders in my apartment have tested positive for covid, it was only me haha. So next week, I'll be back at it with the normal missionary work! Let's go!

It has definitely been an interesting week, with covid and all. But I've truly seen that God does not stop blessing us because of sickness. The work never stops!  And in the words of Elder Mckenzie: Miracles have not ceased!
