Week 71: November 16, 2020

Hey everyone!

Well, I hit my 16 month mark last week, and today is actually my 500 day mark on my mission! 2/3rds done. It's honestly so weird how fast my mission has gone by, I'll literally be home in less than 8 months. I kinda got a little emotional this past week thinking at all the things that have happened the past 16 months of my life, all the people I've met and things I've learned. Google photos showing me all my “one year ago today” pictures has definitely contributed to that haha. Definitely motivates me to want to work as hard as I can for the last stretch I have left!

Not much new this week except for a bunch of members coming in clutch and bringing us food, when we shopped last week we basically forgot to buy everything we needed which was a big rip. But the members saved us. We have some members that bring us a lot of ethnic food, they brought us this seafood casserole the other day which was soooo good, and then they also got us this indian food they made for diwali. Elder sewell is kinda a wimp with food so he didnt really like it, so basically when he gets to the Phillipines he's gonna have a tough time haha

What also contributed to the lack of food in our flat is our flat itself. For some reason, if you put food at specific places on the counter, it gets really moldy within like 2 days, but in some places on the counter, the food will basically last forever. I had the scare of my life when I picked up a bag of oranges and one single orange at the bottom of the bag was completely covered in mold, while the rest of them looked fine. So that's kinda annoying/weird

That's basically it though haha. We've should be getting busy soon cause we got like 3 referrals this past week which is super exciting! So burnley should get moving soon!
