These past few weeks have been wild. A couple weeks ago, half the office contracted COVID during a week of the arrival of over 20 missionaries, including my companions Elder Molina and Elder Peterson. With the rest of us working double time, we managed to help the arrivals get to their areas with trainings and full stomachs. It was a long week, but thankfully this is the Lord's work and everything worked out. 😄💪
Last week, things started to slow down and we thought we were in the clear, but just as we were gearing up for another wave of missionaries, I tested positive for COVID earlier this week. 😬😅 I've been in quarantine since, along with my poor companion Elder Molina who is quarantining for the second time.😅
We have a saying in this mission, "Somos flexibles, nos adaptamos" (We're flexible, we adapt). Between flight cancelations, positive covid tests, and a million other surprises our plans are constantly in flux. It's been great though to see the hand of the Lord come through to help mission work progress!
On a more spiritual side, we got the awesome opportunity to meet Belén and Ezequiel. They have been taught in the past, and at the beginning of our first lesson with then they told us they had a testimony of the Book of Mormon! Even though we were in quarantine, we had a member visit them while we participated by Zoom. We had an awesome lesson, and our member friend invited to take them to church this Sunday! The work continues even when we're stuck inside!
Hope you all have a wonderful week!!!
Love 💗 ,
Elder Watts
