#27 粗開始強完畢 (Rough start, strong finish)

Well everyone this week was another quarantine week and it started off sort of rough. After testing positive for Covid on Tuesday morning we got hit with another 5 days of quarantine. (For those counting that's a total of 15 days). So we were honestly kind of bummed out and didn't have the best attitude, but throughout the week we had some good successes and saw some awesome miracles. 

We had 2 more lessons with the Boyce kids this week and they are doing well. They want to hold off on their baptism which was kind of a bummer but it's alright, they just need to learn more about the gospel. They have met a lot of awesome members of the ward and are doing great.

The Boyce kids also came to church for the first time on Sunday which was awesome! The best part was afterwards when we were in the foyer with them. They were apprehensive about going to Sunday school, but the best was when 5 or 6 priests just showed up out of the blue and surrounded Shayne, it was awesome. 

Something I learned this week: I learned the importance of having a good attitude, this week definitely was a trial on my attitude, a lot went differently than we thought it would, and we got pretty tired of Facebook, and Phone calls. But I found that complaining about it and groaning about it didn't make it any easier. The best thing we could do was just buckle down and try and make the most out of our scenario. To quote Admiral McRaven: "start singing when you are neck deep in the mud".

I promise more pictures next week
