Quarantined 😷

You know how last week in my weekly I said we were doing normal missionary work? Well on Tuesday night we got a message that we were being quarantined. 

This has been very difficult. It feels like its a nightmare that we can't wake up from. I have no clue how long we will be in isolation for. There is a possibility that I could get sent home early, but I have no clue. At this point its kind of just a waiting game. A lot of my friends, including the Elders I was suppose to go home with, go home this week. 

Members are still allowed to bring us over food. Our ward has been amazing at making sure we are being taken care of. We had transfer calls on Saturday and Jamestown will be getting whitewashed (meaning that me and my companion are both leaving and there will now be a set of Elders in Jamestown, there hasn't been Elders here for 3 years so it will definitely be a change). I will be going to Rotherwood Tennessee and this will most likely be my last area

In other news we had another tornado warning this week. Me and Sister Davis were walking outside getting some fresh air when all the sudden RAIN!! We started walking back to our apartment (laughing our heads off and screaming because we were so wet) and we looked at the phone and saw that it was a tornado warning! Luckily there was no tornado

There has been a hymn that I've been clinging to while this is all happening. It is the hymn Be Still My Soul. I'd invite you to ponder the lyrics

1. Be still, my soul: The Lord is on thy side;
With patience bear thy cross of grief or pain.
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In ev’ry change he faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: Thy best, thy heav’nly Friend
Thru thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

2. Be still, my soul: Thy God doth undertake
To guide the future as he has the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake;
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul: The waves and winds still know
His voice who ruled them while he dwelt below.

3. Be still, my soul: The hour is hast’ning on
When we shall be forever with the Lord,
When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,
Sorrow forgot, love’s purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul: When change and tears are past,
All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.

I'm very grateful for all the prayers, kind & encouraging messages, funny stories, and memes that have been sent during this trial. I'm specially grateful for my family ♡ please reach out to your missionary friends. Reach out daily. I think every missionary is struggling right now. The smallest things make a big difference. I love y'all
