Week 95: May 3, 2021

 1 year ago tomorrow I received my call to the Raleigh North Carolina mission.... where has the time gone?

This week was pretty long, it really didnt feel like I was a missionary. A majority of this week was spent cleaning, moving, cleaning, unpacking, getting our car from the shop, and getting our 2nd dose of the vaccine! It was a busy week, just not as filled with missionary work as I would've liked. But it is ok because this next week is gonna be good! 
We got all settled into our new apartment, it's a 1 bed 1 bath, our last was 2 bed 2 bath, but its pretty spacious and we even got a garage with it, and that may sound irrelevant, but I fr don't think theres any other apartments in our mission that have a garage haha. We got a ping pong table too so we will be grinding some ping pong in the garage . Its been a new experience for sure being actually in my area but it's pretty nice. 
In Sacrament meeting yesterday, the sacramental hymn was #192, and in verse 2 it says these words. 
Come, Saints, and drop a tear or two
For him who groaned beneath your load;
He shed a thousand drops for you,
A thousand drops of precious blood.
These words really moved me, and to think that every time we partake of the sacrament we are doing it in remembrance of his suffering for us is really overwhelming. Christ loves you all, so whenever you face a difficulty, remember that Christ suffered and died for you.
