#zostańwdomu

Hello everybody! Isn't it so weird how fast the world can change?? Over here we are pretty much quarantined. Streets are empty and everywhere the hashtag #zostańwdomu is flashing at us.


It all seemed to start for us on Wednesday. And then we would wake up and find out another huge announcement. But all this break from routine really helps one remember that so many of the things we do every day aren't the most important. It is nice to take a step back and enlarge our life perspective too.


A lot of things seem to be changing really fast and so it's hard to know what will happen. Like for example my companion is supposed to go home in 3 weeks. And all the senior couples are really close to going home.


Our people here seem to be doing well. We have 2 people on baptismal date now and we are really excited for them :) they might get baptized in a river because the pools and everything are closed.


I really like what President Nelson said in April 2018 General Conference: "We live in a world that is complex and increasingly contentious. The constant availability of social media and a 24-hour news cycle bombard us with relentless messages. If we are to have any hope of sifting through the myriad of voices and the philosophies of men that attack truth, we must learn to receive revelation."


God can bring us peace in the middle of this situation and all these projections and different ways we can analyze the situation. Isn't it great to have the restores Gospel and have the ability to receive personal guidance from God?


Love,
Sister Eberting
