This has been the absolute longest week ever.
I want to preface this email with a quote from a Dark chocolate Dove wrapper: "After every storm there's a rainbow, no matter how long it takes to show up"
This week it has been one thing after another that has tested my sanity.
My week put simply (all of these things occured in our apt besides the virus ones)
Tuesday: Bed Bugs and Spider, interviews with President Vest.
Wednesday: Centipede
Thursday: mirror shattered, centipede #2
Food storage for possible quarantine, church cancelled
Friday: dishwasher broke, got more info on Corona
Saturday: missionary work continues, finally found toilet paper
... if any of those don't make sense, sorry lol.
This has been the hardest week for me and my anxiety.
But I have come out of this week with more trust in God and a stronger testimony of my Savior Jesus Christ and His Atonement. I know that He was with me every second, reminding me He knows what I am going through and I can rely on Him to become stronger.
On Sunday we has a really sacred opportunity to have the Sacrament brought to our apt and blessed there.
The spirit was so strong and the priesthood holder blessing the water got choked up as he was blessing it. It is amazing to feel the power that comes through worthy priesthood holders.
I am also so grateful for the Prophet, President Nelson and for his guidance from God for this world.
I encourage all of you to watch the videos that have been shared on the church website and President Nelson's Facebook these past few weeks. I truly know that God is working through a living Prophet to prepare us for the second coming of Jesus Christ.
These videos will help us prepare for General Conference when the Living Prophets and Apostles will speak Gods word to us.
Also a talk that I kept thinking of this week is titled "Mountains to Climb" by Henry B. Eyring from April 2012. Please read it!
Proverbs 3:5-6
