This week was good! Very different because as of Tuesday night we went into "self isolation" as a mission so we are now told to stay in our apartments and not go into people's houses. We have been switching our missionary efforts to online so it's fun trying to figure that out. And Facebook got approved last night for our mission so we will be working on that this week. Also fun fact is there's a big park across the street from our apartment where they do 'drive thru Corona testing'
Other than that we have been getting creative in our apartment. Last night we moved all of our beds into the living room so that was fun. We get two hours of 'outside time' a day so we have been meeting up with other missionaries in our area (but don't worry we keep it under 10 people- don't want anyone thinking us missionaries are out here breaking the law or anything) So this week outside time was
Day 1 fishing with the Hollywood Elders
Day 2 playing Pickleball with the Plantation Elders
Day 3 playing volleyball with the Plantation elders at the nicest park I've ever been to
Day 4 having a picnic at a super cool park with the Hollywood Sisters
Day 5 taking a nap at a different super cool park with just our house
And today we are probably going to go biking by the Everglades so we are excited.
As you can tell outside time is the best time and we go to a lot of parks- but not the Corona Virus drive through one don't worry.
But things are still good and we were able to go to our ward mission leader's house yesterday for sacrament meeting and it was really nice they're a super awesome family. We talked about the allegory of the Olive tree and when the scriptures mention digging and the roots of the tree so it can grow easier it made me think of trials. And how a lot of times trials can bring out our weakness and the parts of our personality that we try to bury but in the process of doing y'all are staying safe and sane!
Love,
Sister Seibert
