I am faring well through the virus epidemic. It is not so much the epidemic itself as missing opportunities that come with it that discourage me at times. But with what good that I can see and do, I have seen progress and the support of God in my life. I have also seen changes within myself to a certain extent though they have been minute and gradual. Most of the growth that takes place in me is unnoticeable, and it will probably be like that for several years even after I finish my mission. It is by small and simple things that great things are brought to pass
I am looking forward to receiving a new companion. I think this will be my ninth or tenth companion. I'm getting close to double digits now. For areas though, that's a different story. That's fine with me because I do not like being in big cities and Arkansas has not cracked down on staying home- yet. Hopefully the peak of the virus will come soon.
We are getting several outdoor service opportunities though, so I am looking forward to that. We are starting up various different tech methods to do missionary work. In my opinion, using the tech might actually allow us to teach more people than before. I think that it would be fantastic to do several short 15 to 20 minute lessons every day with people being taught and families or really anyone in the pool. It might be easier to get in contact with certain people too. There is opportunity for sure. I am afraid of missing opportunities or forgetting about what is possible. I just want to choose the right no matter what and be comfortable with myself too. This will be a time to actually do constructive, useful introspection versus simply turning inward and shutting down like I usually do. I know everything is going to be okay.
