Week 94 (Amiens)

A week in quarantine. But still a busy week.

As opposed to almost every other missionary I know, I'm still out here doing missionary things amidst the pandemic. For those who don't know, most missionaries serving in foreign countries are going home because of worries about the coronavirus, but I guess they're not worried about us here in Europe! So all my friends who were serving in South America, the Philippines, etc. are gone. But in quarantined France, the work continues thanks to technology!

We've been teaching a bunch of people through video calls, and since the entire country is on lockdown, everyone is free all day long! We've also been talking as a mission about how we can be more effective online. Despite being stuck inside, we can still be a light to the world through the power of the internet! So whatever our current difficulties, be assured that it will all turn out, and we'll be able to make it through. The Lord is on our side, and if He is with us, who can be against us?

Bon courage!

"A picture hanging on our wall, past missionnaires must have made it"



Quarantine photo: They've added a clear partition on the bus so the people riding can't pass germs to the driver



Quarantine photo: They have plastic wrap around the cashier stations at the grocery store, again to prevent virus transmission



Food photo: They made a quiche



Food photo: And they made delicious-looking cookies!



I guess this also qualifies as a quarantine photo - he stayed in the house for almost 24 hours over the weekend
