Hey friends!
Happy New Year! Can't believe its 2021. That's nuts. All the missionaries got together and had dinner new years eve. We all had a big potluck and just talked. We went around and everyone shared there favorite memories of this past year. I said the temple and being in quarantine with my family (at the start of covid). We had a testimony meeting too at the end and... wow... it was AMAZING. People shared their stories of why they're out on a mission and there were some crazy spiritual experiences. The spirit was so strong. I had mega goosebumps as well.
We went on exchanges this past week too with the zone leaders. I was with Elder Schauerhamer and we had a great day. Exchanges are fun cause it's a change of pace. We had a member lesson with one of the Gig Harbor members and it was pretty good. At the end, they told us that church was going to be cancelled this week! We were very shocked and very confused. Apparently someone in the ward tested positive to covid and went to sacrament meeting without knowing (last week)!! The ENTIRE ward is in a two week quarantine. We didn't see that coming but everything turned out well in the end. We thought we'd have to be quarantined too but we talked with the mission nurse and we got the clear to keep doing missionary work. We weren't in direct contact with anyone that tested positive so that's why. Anyways, that was a tender mercy for us cause transfers is also this coming week!!
We got our transfer calls on Saturday! It was so funny cause the APs called us while we were ordering food at Qdoba. I quickly answered the phone while my comp checked out for me haha. We are both staying in Gig Harbor for another transfer!! I'm happy I'm staying and I'm way pumped for what's to come. The ZLs quad is turning into a duo so there will only be 4 of us in the house from now on. There is gonna be soooo much space. I'm loving it here and serving the Lord.
