It has been quite the week, let me tell you. Most of you probably already know but because of the virus, we have been chilling in our apartment all day everyday since Wednesday. Aaaannnndddd we just got a text saying that this week is going to be the same. Great. It actually isn't too bad. I like the extra study time for language and gospel stuff. But there is only so many times you can go through your area book calling everybody. So we fill the time usually with naps, more studying, and plenty of rounds of Settlers of Catan.
Tuesday was our only day of freedom. We did a few hours of finding and then had district council for the last time with our district as it is.
Wednesday, we were doing our daily planning, looking at an empty day with a lot of time out on the streets when we got the text to stay inside. We were pretty excited to be part of not only historic protests, but a historic virus.
Thursday, we had transfers and had to go out to pick up four elders moving into our apartment building. It was sad to say goodbye to my MTC buddy, Elder Mumford. We had some good times together but now he is in another part of Hong Kong. The new guys are cool though too. One of them is brand new and spending his first days in Hong Kong locked up. We were also encouraged to go out on a walk that day so we showed the new elders their area at the pier.
The rest of the week was pretty much the same. Staying inside, doing what we can, trying to fight the boredom.
Today we will go buy food (we'll see how that goes because everyone has been stocking up lately because they think Hong Kong will close itself off and food will be scarce.) Seriously, I have never seen so many empty instant noodle and rice shelves. It is truly a party. I hope I dont have to fight off an old auntie for some bananas or something.
Anyways, that's all for me this week. Wish me luck next week. If you have any ideas or things that could help keep myself engaged, send em my way.
