Week 60: Azalea Surprise

Hello everyone!!

Another week survived in quarantine!

We have had a lot of people interested in our free english classes, so we have been able to have lots of video chat lessons with people this week. It is quite interesting trying to teach a language through technology, but it is working out pretty well so far. 

Also, in major news, the group became a branch this sunday!!!! We are now the azalea branch! We got a call early in the week that it was going to happen and then were able to contact all the sisters who have served here and helped make this branch possible. So they all got to watch the broadcast, even the two who finished their missions and returned home. So on sunday we had a small meeting of the new branch president, the bishop, and stake president. We were asked to give the prayers :)

It was so exciting and now we have more organization! We are excited to continue to work with these amazing people and grow the branch. It's been so amazing to see the love and support from all the members of the group especially with helping each other during quarantine and making sure they all still have the opportunity to take the sacrament. It is a beautiful thing to see.

Quarantine really can be hard, some days I feel like a bag of semi squishy potatoes, and other times I'm pumped and ready to take on the world. But everyday I have to remember to he thankful for all of the blessings I do have and how I can, like all our favorite people in the scriptures, turn to God and be the best instrument in his hands in every situation I may find myself in. 

Love y'all and stay healthy and safe!
Hermana Nielson :D
