Week 56: the plague

Scout Benson

well.... here we are again. i know right? arent we all "sick" of this?? I know i am. You might have guessed it, you might have heard it, but we had COVID this week. Monday night Sister Morley started feeling sick and we tested positive on tuesday morning. Sister Morley mostly got it in the form of a sore throat, and i got hit hard in the chest and breathing department. We both slept like... all day the first couple days. Like literally. Then we were left with a lot of sitting around, staring at the walls and studying to do. People were SO nice to us. Bringing us groceries and meals and stuff. We were blessed. 


We finally got out of quarantine on Sunday and got to go to church!!! Went from sweats and messy hair for a week to dressing up for church 😎 got checked out at church by a nurse in our ward who listened to my lungs and told me that I still have bronchitis. And covid. Which is why im having a hard time breathing. So..... im overjoyed about that. Probably looking at going back to the doctor on Wednesday. So please everyone if I could ask you just to pray for me to RECOVER and STAY recovered, I would be so grateful. 


Other than that this week has been thoroughly uneventful. Fighting off the loneliness, boredom and insanity that comes with being stuck in your house for a whole week has been a party, but im happy its over. On to a week of being a real missionary!!

  Happy Tuesday morning!! ☀️☀️ it’s a lovely day so far:) Ok! So here’s an experience I have been feeling like I want to share with you all: Maybe a week ago? Ish? I was in the temple for to do initiatories. I can’t remember if I had an appointment or I was just walking in… I think I was just walking in.  The PCC temple has a really good system for helping people who walk in w/out an appointment be able to do initiatories. However after they got my name and all that jazz they asked me to sit in the front area where the desk is instead of in the back near the booths bc the benches back there were full. This was sorta upsetting to me, I had gone that day really hoping to be able to feel the spirit. But being up there near the desk meant I had to try and tune out all the happenings and chatting there. Recently I’ve discovered that when I’m anxious I can get pretty sound sensitive. So if there’s any noise going on it can completely overwhelm me with anxious thoughts.  I start...
