Today. Was. Amazing. So much happiness and joy :) We've been in quarantine for about 7/8 weeks now... Fun! :) At least I got to talk to my awesome fam. We had a really powerful lesson with Carol over the phone. The Spirit was strong and we talked about baptism! She's been reading and gaining so much from the Book of Mormon. I love seeing so much peace enter into one person's life as they truly study the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I encourage YOU to do the same, and you'll find that peace begin to enter into your life :)

Today was Zone Conference! That was virtual... again. So weird to do "get togethers" while sitting in your apartment haha. It's alright, we have friends here to keep us company... the cockroaches!! Yes. Yes. We have flippin roaches! The total kill count so far IN OUR apartment has been 60... 60! Oh well. Mission life I guess. :) We actually named all the roaches in our house "Jerry" so whenever we see a roach we scream that we found Jerry and then drench it in Raid spray.

Finally got a haircut!! ;)

Wednesday: May 13th
We had a bunch of facebook meetings today that we ran with our area pages. Facebook is so fun right? It's not just for old people, haha! :) We had a great lesson with Angela, she's been hit hard the past few days but she'll make it. Her end goal is enduring joy and lasting peace! What about you? Do you desire those things? Well then, email me and I can help show you how :)

Thursday: May 14th
Had another great lesson with Angela, she is progressing well and I love seeing her have so much more peace in her life through the Gospel! The best way to gain peace in your life is to recognize the peace that God has already given you in your life. Then look to Christ and find more peace in Him!

CRAZY STORY:
Me and Elder Samojla were walking out of our apartment for a break today only to run into a flippin SQUAD of policemen wearing Kevlar and aiming M4s everywhere. There was apparently a guy walking around our apartment complex with a gun! That was crazy. Just the classic day in Grand Junction. Me and Elder Samojla sprinted inside and were sneaking pictures from our window. Other than that, pretty normal day in quarantine life :)

We are being watched... :0

Saturday: May 16th
Today we got to film our Diligence video for our facebook page (Yes, I did indeed put pretzels in the fridge, ya goof ;) Go watch it if you haven't! We had a lesson with Angela, she's progressing really well. We taught her more of the commandments we commit to live before we're baptized. One of which is to be clean in our thoughts and actions. The Lord truly does bless us and work miracles according to our desires! :)

Sunday: May 17th
We were able to video chat Angela and now Danyel into a sacrament! So happy to see Danyel again, it's been awhile. We got a random call from someone asking to start being taught the Gospel... what a miracle! Stuff like that never happens! The Lord's hand truly is in His work <3

I love you all, be safe, eat your pretzels, and know that you goofs are awesome :)

Love,
Elder LaRose
