Stepping stones and Alone time

Hey this is going to be quick because I technically don't get P-days anymore haha. So a lot of fun stuff has happened this week. I have taken a ton of road trips to different areas in my mission in Mississippi and in Louisiana which has been so fun! I have gotten to see a ton of other missionaries! (Who have all been quarantined for a month so they are safe!) And another sweet part is I'm actually allowed to drive BY MYSELF. My companion is driving the Tundra right behind me, but nothing is better than just being alone for 2 hours straight in a car. Its soooo nice. Also the weather is getting a lot warmer too. Like it was already pretty warm so I guess I should say it's getting pretty hot, and there are frogs and lizards EVERYWHERE. I had a frog jump right at my face yesterday. I literally dodged it in the coolest way though. Like it felt cool, but if anyone saw they wouldn't think the way my body maneuvered, was necessarily the most normal. Anyways my Grandma Wilson shared with me a talk from Dallin H. Oak at a BYU Devotional given on January 17, 1995 on Adversity. She shared with me this comment: "Adversity can become a 'stumbling block' or a 'stepping stone' depending on how we handle what is given us. The Lord sends adversity to send messages to his children. 'JUST FACE LIFE'S CHALLENGES' I loved this message. It's so true because every one of us gets thrown a few lemons and we forget to make lemonade, instead we are out here just sitting in our rooms bored out of our minds throwing the lemons up and letting them hit us in the face on their way back down. Like come on. Yeah life isnt the same, but does that mean we just pause it? And just feel bad for ourselves? Wait until we are "allowed" back outside? Like life is still fun we have technology to see the faces of our loved ones. We have life to live let's not waste these next few weeks. I think God is inviting everyone to sit up, think for a second on what we THOUGHT was most important in our lives and hes asking us to CHANGE it. This is a perfect opportunity for each of us to change. Get out of bad habits and get into good ones. The Coronavirus should most definitely be a STEPPING stone in each of our lives rather than a STUMBLING stone. And although certain circumstances make it seem impossible for this to be a good thing. It's all your mindset. You cannot tell me otherwise. Dont even try. Christ is with us, He knows how you feel and He knows how to help you. It's up to you to make this your stepping stone.
