sooooo, out of EVERYTHING that could have happened this week, sister matthews and I got thrown back into quarentine and tested for covid (well her not me). Basically, our mission President's wife thought she might be contagious since other people were starting to get sick. She didnt have any symptoms but here we are.
Sis Brady & Matthews: 0
Covid: 2
We arent exactly sure what this means quarentine wise because she doesnt have symptoms (but she is tired so I guess that's a symptom) but yeah, looks like we will just have to wait this one out. SO PLEASE PRAY FOR US!!!
The hotel we live at has been super nice and they even left dr. Pepper and snacks and toilet paper outside our door today??? Like what??? We love our hotel staff.
My sanity is slightly going, but it's fine, we're fine, I'm fine.
Anyways, other than being extremely sad and stuck inside once again, we had a great week before our quarentine started!! We had some awesome lessons with Christian and Stefano and Skylar and I have so much love for each of them!!! We also had some good teaching lessons over video this week with Kevin and Jovany (who we just picked up!!) We are so absolutely excited to continue in the work that's been happening so hurrah for Israel! God is so good. He truly is a God of miracles.
Forgiveness has been on my mind a lot lately. Sometimes it is really hard to forgive others for hurting us or to even forgive ourselves for doing something stupid. I feel like it is SO easy to put the blame on one person (which is usually ourselves) and direct every emotion at them. I've felt that a lot this week. Every minor inconvenience, every bad day, every bad contact, I have felt responsible for. And I'm embarrassed that I take on that responsibility. It's this huge mind game that Satan plays with you, making you feel like you HAVE to do EVERYTHING ALONE. but that is just not true. If you're going to put it on one person, put it on Christ because He understands. He gets the feeling of shame, guilt, not being good enough, falling short of expectations because He felt it all for us. It's okay if you don't heal from your actions or the actions of others right away. You know why? Because God never asked you to and He definitely never asked you to do it alone. So if you're struggling today, turn to Christ. Know that there wont be judgement from Him or your Heavenly Father. Start forgiving today. Take your time and trust God. I can promise that you will be healed.
I love you guys. Thank you for everything.
Love,
Sister Brady
