HELLO_WORLD_
Yes, I'm still alive! We're holding down the fort out here in Amiens. We don't really go out because of the quarantine, but we manage to keep ourselves busy.
The days all sort of run together since they're all the same, so I'll give you the run down! We wake up at 6:30 to start off every day, then we go on a quick run to get some fresh air. Then we'll come back, shower, and eat some breakfast to get ready for the day. Afterwards we'll do some studying, then we often call or message people until it's time for lunch. After eating we'll message people on Facebook or set up rendez-vous, then we normally have a couple rendez-vous with our amis in the afternoon. We'll often end off the day by listening to a General Conference talk and eating dinner. Then we'll get ready for bed and go to sleep by 10:30.
To change it up a bit we've gotten into baking. We made chocolate chip cookies to snack on last week, and today we baked some banana bread! I wonder what we'll bake next!
But what I'm really looking forward to is Conference. Not only is it the 200th anniversary of the First Vision, not only is it going to be unforgettable, not only is it something to take our minds off the quarantine, but with all these missionaries going home and everyone being quarantined in their homes together, this General Conference will be watched by more complete families than any other in history! This is a spiritual experience just waiting to happen! So I hope you've all listened to President Nelson and that you're all ready for an amazing experience this weekend!
Allons-y!
Elder Wood
