COVID Restrictions Lifted!! (Ish)

Guess what everyone!!! A TON of our restrictions got lifted on Friday!!!  

We can eat in member homes and accept food if there is a friend/less active there too!

We can eat in restaurants and with other missionaries.

We can tract/street contact but its very limited. Example, if we go to a members home, we can knock a few doors before or after the appointment but it can't be planned into the schedule.

ALSO we can go without masks in church!!!! 

We are SO EXCITED! There was a lot of screaming and cheering when our district leaders called us and gave us all the new guidelines.

No masks at church!!

Okay, we got our friend Zamal on date!! He is going to be baptized June 19th!! We are really hoping his health will allow it, he has some physical restrictions that prevent him from coming to church in person so we are really hoping he will be able to be baptized!!

We got a member referral this last week for a sweet sweet couple, Charlie and Natalie.  They are incredible!!  Charlie has actually met with missionaries before! He used to be atheist but found Christ through the missionaries and is so eager to learn about the gospel! Our first lesson he was asking us questions about what it would be like to be a "Mormon" if he got baptized! We are working on teaching him the Plan of Salvation.  Natalie is still an atheist and isn't very comfortable taking the discussions but she does like to talk with Charlie about what he's learned after we have left so we are hoping to get her to join us soon!!

We have been sooooo busy this week! Every day has been filled with service and lessons starting in the morning going to night so it has been really fun!  

At service, I accidentally stepped in Poison Ivy.  Luckily I was wearing longer sweat pants and I was able to wash my hands pretty fast so I didn't get a rash!

The cicadas are really obnoxious.  They are quite loud and like to fly towards you.  Sister Eller and I aren't really scared of them but we definitely don't want them on us so it's not uncommon to see us being a little jumpy or running away when they come at us. A lot of people want us to eat them.  Our comeback right now is that if they will eat pork rinds (pig skin) we will eat the cicadas.  So far that is a deal that has not been taken so I will continue to use it! If someone does take it, I'm changing it to pigs feet!

Pictures this week include:

Breaking our Sunday fast with our friend Philip! It was his first time!

The AP's and zone leaders were gone so it was just us and the district leaders for district council, that was fun

Sister Eller using her face mask as a sleeping mask

We wanted pizza and 7 layer bean dip at 9:30am this morning so we did!

Love you all!
