 Hey so things are getting interesting lol. 

So I got moved to Louisville and the name of our area is Ola which means wave so that's kinda cool. One thing that isn't very fun is that I tested positive for covid 19 but my symptoms were pretty much the same as a normal flu so cough sore throat body aches and stuff like that so we are currently under quarantine until further notice which is not super fun but there's not much that I can do about that. So we do a lot of studying and a lot of playing guitar and piano and stuff like that when we run out of people to call. Other than that its pretty chill for now.

There was something I read the other day that kinda put me in my place because I didn't have the best attitude about the whole quarantine thing.

 Its in Romans 5 verses 3-5

"3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us."

And basically this got me thinking about how something like true patience is something that would be really nice to have especially with all of this covid stuff and being on the other side of the country away from friends and family and not being able to go out of my apartment. However in this scripture it tells us that when it comes to patience that we gain it through trials that test our patience. So I'm just trying to take this quarantine as an opportunity to be tried and tested. That also means that the more trials of patience that we go through the better we will be equipped to handle future situations. So to sum this all up I need to look at this trail kinda like cardio... It kinda sucks in the moment but every time you do cardio it makes future cardio suck a little less... and its supposed to be good for you or something like that but i think that's just a myth lol.

Hope everyone has a great week or two depending on when I email again haha. If you want to send me anything you can send it to
