Yes, I got THE shot at the local fire and rescue station! My first Covid vaccine shot. There was only amusing side effects luckily, such as extreme drowsiness, loopiness, fuzzy eye sight, and laughing for two minutes straight while watching snow fall outside the car window. Haha, I thought it was fun. Sister Homer was slightly concerned about my sanity after that, haha. I am doing much better now, it wore off a few hours later.
We had Zone Conference yesterday and we were super late! We live about 35 minutes away from where we meet, and we ended up leavening about 10 minutes late, then with the foggy and icy weather it took even longer. The map somehow lead us to the wrong place, a neighborhood 16 minutes away from the church we were supposed to be at! Luckily we got there only 10 minutes after it started, but we felt really bad.
I also gave my departing testimony while there. Every missionary on their last transfer, which is every 6 weeks, during the annual Zone Conference you are to give a brief testimony of some of the things you have learned on your mission. It was really hard figuring out what to say, I feel like I have learned so much and it was hard to organize it into words. I have learned to stand up for myself and what is right. I have learned to be brave, bold, and loving. I have gained so much more experience on patience. I have learned a lot about my relationship with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. I have learned what true strength is. In the end I decided to talk on giving your all to the work. My family has a little motto, which is "when you give all you have you will always have enough." I have found this especially true in missionary work. I strive to give my whole heart, might, focus, time, and self to this work and the people of Colorado. In return I have gained so much more then I had before.
I have less then three weeks remaining to serve a full time mission, and I hope to do all that I can every second of the day to continue to give my all. I feel as if this is a wonderful time to create a pattern for my life, of working hard and loving completely.
I am grateful everyday that I chose to serve a mission at such a time as this!!!
I got my shot!
A pic from Zone Conference
I burned myself with very hot oil. Not fun, 10/10 do not recommend, but it kind of looks cool, haha.
I accidentally left my tag at home, so I was "Sister Homer" for a few hours, haha
Sister Homer made DELICIOUS Korean pancakes! They are filled with this amazing honey and nut mix, and are so crispy on the outside. I am so spoiled XD
