Good week! The highlight this week for sure was getting to meet with our friend named Yusen who is going to NC state, and putting him on date! Hes super diligent in the gospel and loves analyzing every chapter of scripture we invite him to read, it's insane. We will invite him to read 2 Nephi 31, and he will end up reading 3 chapters before and after just to gain a bigger understanding of what's going on. What a stud.
The weather this week was splendid which is great and all buttttt I think I got covid or it may have been a cold. Basically wednesday I started wanting to die and I got some pretty crappy covid like symptoms, thursday we had some appointments but we cancelled those because we didnt wanna infect anyone and we called the mission nurse who was super stubborn and said "yall dont have covid it's just a cold" which is pretty irrational in my opinion because the symptoms are like pretty much the same are they not? So to be a good citizen I quarantined myself so yeah Utah take a page out of this book 
so for the rest of the week I spent my days living in agony inside when it was 75 and sunny outside. But anyway now that I'm feeling better its gonna be cold(er) and rainy this week 
In all honesty though it wasn't the worst thing ever. Ever since Covid started hitting in australia I've been working hard on a goal of not complaining about things I cant control. Whenever I let myself be ungrateful, or complain in any way, I immediately remember someone much greater than I, who has gone through unfathomable things that he didnt necessarily want to go through. And he did it all, for people who complain, who are ungrateful, who take his name in vain, who reject him (see Mosiah 3:7). In my studies I was reading from the account of Alma, when Alma the younger is beginning his ministry. My favorite part of this whole ministry is his testifying of the Savior coming to take the sins of the world upon himself. Alma 7:11 reads "And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people." I always tear up thinking of His perfect love for us, for him understanding our every pain and sorrow.
