Hi everybody, welcome to 2022!
I hope you all had a great New Year's Eve celebration, that you ate some good food, enjoyed some good company, and went to bed at a reasonable time. ;) Our New Year's went about the same as our Christmas, so I'm going to avoid mentioning it further, and hope that this year makes up for it.
Things that have happened this week: On Wednesday, I went and got the first dose of the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine. (It took forever, being a foreign citizen is complicated sometimes) It honestly wasn't too bad. I was a little sore the next day, and then it had mostly burned off the day after that. So that's good news.
The bad news is, while I was away getting my vaccine, my companion was with another companionship, and they had contact with someone who they're pretty sure has Covid. So they're all going to get tested, just in case. Hopefully that comes back negative, because I already spent a good eight months of my mission in quarantine, and I'd rather not repeat it. :P
But other than a potentially ill companion, not too much has happened this week. We've got a couple of people we're working with who have to either get married or stop living with their partner before they can get baptized, which is always a complicated situation. They're progressing well, but its still tricky to work around, so your prayers on behalf of Patricia and Carlos would be greatly appreciated.
And last but not least, a quick spiritual thought. To avoid making this too long, I'll go with a simple one. If you have not yet read the Family Proclamation, I invite you to do so! Read it, study it, pray about it, and apply it's principles to your own life. It is a powerful document that I have seen change lives down here. And it's not even that long! :)
Anyway, that's all I've got for this new year so far. Take care of yourselves, and Happy New Year!
