What a crazy week. And something tells me it's just going to get crazier!

In case anyone is worried, no I don't have the Corona virus. But we did go shopping today to prepare ourselves for a 14-day quarantine! Hopefully it won't come to that, but President wants us to be ready just in case. And honestly, I almost hope it happens, some of that food we bought looks really good!

We visited a nice couple this week, the wife is a less active member and the husband isn't a member. They made us a nice dinner, and topped it off with a blue pear cake! They told us they put Smurfs in it :-) But they told the story of how a missionary back in the day had really offended the husband, and as a result, he didn't want to see another missionary for years. Luckily, he changed his mind, and we had a great evening getting to know them and talking about the gospel.

But what hit me is the impact this one decision had. That missionary probably didn't mean to offend him, but because of what he said, this man was kept from the gospel for a long time. So we all need to be careful when considering what consequences our actions may have.

Ne tombez pas malade! Prenez bien soin de vous!
