Quarantine and 18 months!!!

This last week was pretty long. The only day we were able to go out and work was Monday evening. Some Elders in our district left to serve in Nigeria. We hugged and said goodbye. Later that day we found out one of their Covid tests came back positive. None of us have any symptoms and we are all doing fine. I think the only thing we had was cabin fever. I did a lot of reading, playing chess and phase 10. 

The biggest highlight came unexpectedly the other night. I got a call from the Elders in my first area, Afeiyna. They told me someone wanted to talk to me. It was Henry! I had taught him for a long time, and we had lost touch when I left. I had baptized his family before I had left. He asked me to baptize him! To me this is a miracle. I am so grateful for the time I have as a missionary. 18 months ago today I left for Ghana the first time. It feels like I was saying goodbye to my family just the other day, but I can't believe so much has happened so far on my mission. 6 months doesn't seem like much time. A mission is never easy but it is always worth it.
