Kiwis are nocturnal! (This time I'm talking about the cute fluffy flightless birds, not the people. Although I'm pretty sure our neighbors are nocturnal...)
Kia Ora whanau!
As you could maybe tell from the title of my email, this week we were sick! Nice. One of my dear friends asked what missionaries do when they're sick a few weeks back (sorry for never responding Elise haha) so I will now tell you! The one who's sick sleeps all day, and the other one goes crazy (: Sister Ieremia was sick from Monday to Friday, so we barely left the flat (except for Zone conf), and not gonna lie, I went a lil stir crazy. Talking to myself isnt an abnormal thing for me, but this was starting to get a little Kristoff and Sven like and I was getting worried.
To keep myself from going too much crazier than I already am, I washed and vacuumed the car, cleaned the flat (3 times), cooked all of Sister Ieremias meals, washed the dishes, messed around in the kitchen, and did heaps of personal study. Pretty much became the perfect housewife :)
I then got sick on Saturday and we weren't allowed to leave then either. Honestly this has probably been the lowest point of my mission because we got literally no work done and that was pretty hard for me. Hoping for a better next week!
One fun thing we did get to do was go to Zone Conference! We probably shouldn't have because Sister Ieremia got someone super sick but it was worth it in my opinion! My favorite quote was from our mission presidents wife when she said "those who love you will tell you the truth and those who dont will tell you lies". I loved this because we have been promised blessings from Heavenly Father, and often we feel like we haven't received those blessings after doing what we are asked. But I know that because Heavenly Father loves us he will keep his promise and help us through everything we are struggling with. It really put things into perspective for me and helped me out this week.
For my spiritual thought this week, since I've been doing so much personal study, I want to share a parable from Luke 14:16-24. It's really easy for us to make excuses for our actions and to push off things we know we need to be doing, but the Lord knows our hearts and knows when we are just making excuses.
Love yous, have an awesome week!
