Down with the Sickness 5/31/2022

 I got Covid-19.

 

Well, this week would've been a positive highlight from my mission of not for the past couple of days.

 

This week was our mission tour where Elder and Sister McKay got to come and observe the mission. They also got to speak to us every morning Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. On Wednesday we got to see them in person, and they even decided to sit down and have lunch with us and our district. It was a pretty great experience and we all learned how to effectively and efficiently work to see our results increase.

 

Tuesday we decided we'd go to mutual for the first time since we have unbaptized youth that attend. Long story short, their adoption papers just need sorting out so we just wanted to build a relationship with them. We learned how to draw a little bit with the deacons and teachers then played dodgeball and basketball with the priests.

 

On Thursday, we had a fantastic lunch again with Peter Martinez. This time we were joined by the Eldridge Park Sisters. He does a really good job encouraging us to make good decisions after the mission and learn to love and support those we are teaching. 

 

On Friday, after another lesson with the Olatoyes, Bro. Stuckey took us to get Baskin-Robbins and I had a headache like no other. I woke up the day totally sick and have been outta commission since. I got tested for covid and found out I'm positive, so we'll be stuck here quarantining until Thursday morning. Luckily, we did get Elder Unga and Elder Longman from Jones Creek to help give me a blessing and a quick trip to Walmart.

 

It's been a wild week for sure but it'll just be another short and small memory as a part of my whole mission experience.
