Week in quarantine also last week here in the mission for a bit

This week has been pretty weird haha its kinda weird not working out in the field after doing it so long but it gave me a lot of time to read the scriptures and ponder on the things i have learned so far without distractions so thats been nice! On Tuesday I texted everyone in our contacts list to see if we could share a message with them and like 3 people said yes haha. So we didn´t have anything to do on wednesday so I got on the BOM grind, love reading the Book Of Mormon! I really liked a part that I read about ammon and his brothers. The part about Aaron really stook out to me, he was stuck in prison for a long time for teaching the word of god and he said that he just and to suffer through his afflictions with patience and he would be blessed and the lord would prepare people for him! Then he gets out and go teaches a NATION!! I really liked it cause it reminded me of now cause were kind of stuck in prison or our houses but people are being prepared and the lord is going to bless us!! I bet he like us just wanted to go out and preach the word but he was blessed for his patience!

On Thursday we went to another areas house cause we got the call that my comp was going to be able to go back to Guatemala so ive just been chilling here with Elder Kelsoe from Cali! He is a pretty cool kid and yesterday Elder Escobar came with us too from St.George and he started the same day as me so thats really cool haha. Not a whole lot happed really but I will be coming home and I can not wait to get back out and work in the states and hopefully I will be able to come serve here in the best mission ever Merida Yucatan!!!

I lost some of the photos but we will see what happens if I can find them haha!!

I don´t even know where to start haha. I got off the plane last tuesday with about 30 other missionaries, and half of them were going to my mission. We took a bus to the mtc and I got to know everyone going to my district and I liked most of them but there was one kid who I didn't want to have as a companion because we had nothing in common. I like to play sports he liked to read books, I like to be outside, he likes to read books haha. But of course we got assigned to be companions and I had kind of a bad attitude about it for my first 2 days and those were the longest two days ive ever had. I prayed that I could come to love my companion and that day we listened to a talk by elder gong and he was talking about the importance of having a good relationship with your companion. He said to stop focusing on the things you didn't like about your companion and to focus on the things your companion was good at and since then its been great. Ive come to love the things my companion is...
