Its TACO TUESDAY

Heyo my quarantined people! Yes I'm still out here and somehow not completely insane yet. Lots of studies, member lessons, and walks this week. 

Nothing too exciting this week so it may be a little short. We have been able to have lessons with the members which has been soo good. One of the families (there's about 5 families in the ward the rest are old people)  offered to let us practice teaching the lessons with them so that has been super helpful especially with Elder Pombo and his english. I will say the memebers are the ones keeping us alive which is great. 

On tuesday we had TACO TUESDAY!! I made a video like Lebron's so I hope you enjoy. The video just proves how insane we are becoming, but the rest of the mission though it was hilarious in our messenger groupchat.  One of the Elders had us play dungeons and dragons with him as well. I'm not going to lie at first I thought it was a bit nerdy, but when we started playing I enjoyed it. It brought some life back into me. 

Spiritual thought:

Further along in my scripture studies this past week I read the classic scripture in Alma, Alma 32, which talks about faith and there's a lot of good stuff in there but I'll just share verses 36-37: 

"36 Behold I say unto you, Nay; neither must ye lay aside your faith, for ye have only exercised your faith to plant the seed that ye might try the experiment to know if the seed was good.

37 And behold, as the tree beginneth to grow, ye will say: Let us nourish it with great care, that it may get root, that it may grow up, and bring forth fruit unto us. And now behold, if ye nourish it with much care it will get root, and grow up, and bring forth fruit."

After we come to a knowledge of truth whether it be of the Book of Mormon, Joseph Smith, or that God is there, we must continue to strengthen that faith nourish it through the simple things like prayer, scripture study, and going to church. If we fail to do this our testimonies die and our experiences begin to fade away in our minds. If you have found your testimony yet start by planting that seed as Alma directs and desire to know with a sincere heart and the willingness to act on your answer.  

Hope you all are staying safe! Have a fantastic week I'll catch you on the flip side. Love you all thanks for the prayers and support!
