Pink Washing

I'm sure you all got my update, but if you didn’t I'm now in Moultrie, Ga. Pinkwashing with Sister Duerden. She’s from Hawaii and super excited about missionary work. 

Rules have cracked down harder here in Georgia, so we really can't leave our apartment and when we do go outside we've been asked to take our name tags off. It's crazy. But I've got to say, I am so grateful for General Conference and the peace that brought. I could feel the power of God and the peace that everything is going to be okay. Not going to lie, it's hard being a missionary at this time, when it feels like the world is falling to pieces and you're worried about loved ones. But I'm so grateful to be able to serve the Lord every day.

We got a call yesterday from someone looking to come back to church and we were able to just pray with her over the phone. There is so much peace in prayer. 

These past two weeks:

- I said goodbye to some of my favorite people, it felt like leaving my family again.

- I drove down to Jacksonville, got on a van to Lake City, got on another van to Tallahassee, then got in a car and drove up to Moultrie.

- I bought an exercise ball. Super excited, I've been bouncing all over the house.

- I'm becoming a chef.

- I have way too much fun checking the mail, even when there is nothing in there. 

- I cried that General Conference is over.

- The members are super excited to have sisters as it's been more than 10 years since they have had us.  They all want to meet us badly.

Anyway, I love you and I miss ya’ll so much! I hope ya’ll know that Jesus Christ is here and wants to help us. He wants to give us peace and help us fulfill our righteous desires. As we look towards Easter this Sunday I hope that we don’t think of the people we'll be missing or the parties we can't attend, but rather all that the Savior did for us in this eventful week about 2000 years ago. He suffered, died, and lives again for us! What an amazing gift. Dwell on Him and peace will come.

Love ya’ll,

Sister Bailey
