Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen!
So this week was somehow fast but decently tough! We followed quarantine rules enough that is was hard and tedious and not enough that we got out a little to pick dinners up because like, we tested negative and dont have symptoms! And not even legally close contact.
The nice part about staying inside was avoiding this cold streak! This winter had bene mild but recently is hitting -40 with wind which was insane. Nose hair and eye lashes froze in the walk from the car to the church! We did the thjng where we throw boiling water and it steams up immediately. Doesnt even have ti be this cold to do that, but was fun!
I spoke in a Toronto young men's devotional with a high pressure lineup of the Mission president there and his assistants and wife! All I can say is I like President Keung and this mission's vibe more! I'm lucky here, truly.
I guess the highlight of our apartment bound week was the fire alarm going off! It was middle of dinner and as soon as it went off we grabbed our bags and started filling it! Scriptures, journals, speaker, and then we walked outside calmly! Biggest social gathering I've seen in a while! We started talking w this youngish religious girl and ended up discussing lots. I think she was lowkey tryna teach us but it more went the other way since we knew a little more haha. Once the fire alarm stopped we went into her work to finish talking a bit, which happened to be a wedding dress store. Her bride walked in so we just chilled while they got set up then dipped. I bet they were wondering why two missionaries were in the dress store hanging out! The group said nothing.
To be honest, both johnson and I have been missing home a lot this week. Feeling kind of unmotivated and done. Ready for life after. But as I was listening to a talk in the shower, I had the realization I needed to be way less selfish. I need to forget myself more and not focus on after as much. As I've been nearing the end and seeing friends go home soon, ive been focusing so much more on me and my life. My desires for after. Too much has been me, when this time isnt about me! Its about unselfish, selfless service and love. I need to remember That's why I'm here and that's why I came out in the first place! A selfless attitude is usually the solution to most problems and it definitely will be here! I'm here for others and God! If I focus on that, my problems are more bearable and less of a big deal.
Hope everyone has a great week!
Love,
Elder Fiore
