You Gotta Keep Your Head Up!

Hey Y'all!!

Let's start with the good news first, shall we?

Dianne is getting baptized! Look out June 20th, we are coming for you! We have never met Dianne in person, but she has been prepared immensely by the Lord and is so ready! Its absolutely incredible! She's so ready to the point that she is planning her own baptism! 

You may or may not remember a woman named Dorothy we were teaching in Brunswick. She was on baptism date, but then fell off the face of the planet. Well, I have been able to get back in contact with her and that has been so amazing!

Not all has been sunshine and flowers, we have heard rumors of being quarantined until July. But then with the protests, who knows, it could be a whole lot longer. 

I seriously love Moultrie, but there are only about 30-50 active members of the congregation, so we are not being fed and we are super worried about over working our members. 

I definitely came out to the south expecting to gain weight, not loose it. But here I am.

Let's just say missionary work is stressful and not for the faint of heart. But when you get that one person progressing towards baptism. It brings more joy than one can even fathom. I've never met Dianne, but I love her more than words can express. So through this all I can find small bits of joy, the little bits of yellow in the black. I hope y'all can find those in your life. I know it's hard right now. But I can promise you that the Lord, or the universe, is with you. They are watching over you and know exactly what you're going through. So as Andy Grammer sings, "you gotta keep your head up, and you can let your hair down!" (I definitely sang that in a lesson I taught to other missionaries)

I love y'all so much!!
