Hey everybody! This has been yet another fun filled week of being extremely bored while in isolation! I hope everything is going well for you all and that you have an amazing week! While out walking I have noticed a couple of things. Everyone is outside and now that they are all outside, we can't talk to them. Also, the more they come outside, the less they are wearing. Doh!
Here's a quick run through of the week:
Monday was P day which was fun. We did some shopping and played some basketball with the Polaris Elders. That was pretty much it.
Tuesday we sat in the apartment and tried to do as much missionary work as we could. Other than that we didn't do much.
Wednesday we had district council which was a lot of fun, even though it was over video call. There were a lot of good insights and principles to apply to our lives. After that we gave the sisters blessings which was interesting.
Thursday we didn't do much again. Nothing too crazy for that day.
Friday we had zone calls and we talked about how we can stay busy while under lock down. We received a commandment from Sister Stratford which was to walk at least 4 miles a day. So following the call me and Elder Erickson went on a walk around a pond in our area.
Saturday was so good! Finally getting to watch General Conference, which the prophet has been hyping up for months, was amazing! There were so many wonderful talks given that gave me so many new things to think about.
Sunday was so good as well! Getting to participate in the Hosanna shout was such a memorable and spiritual moment! The talks were very inspiring and I have so much motivation to go and do now!
Miracle of the week:
When we were giving the sisters blessings, I got to give a blessing to a newer sister. One thing we have to do now when giving blessings is that we have to cast Satan out. Our mission President told us that with this time of sitting idle, Satan will try to poke and prod at us and try to get into our minds. So when we give blessings we have to cast him out and replace the space with something positive. It was a very interesting and spiritual experience getting to perform a blessing for that sister.
Funny moment of the week:
For the Saturday evening session we were watching it with our Zone Leaders and we were going to grill up some salmon. When we went outside to light the grill, Elder Erickson sniffs and yells, "Man, who's smoking out here" as a joke. We look over and there is a random lady smoking a cigarette who just glares at us. We all let out a loud "oof" and hurried and lit the grill and went back inside.
Love,
Elder Bohn
