So the mustaches. We have turned them into a tool for ministering!! Weird right? Yeah, you're right it is weird, but it's also so fun! One of our favorite families EVER had a birthday in their family! Their daughter is so cute and sweet so we decided to make a birthday video of us singing and being super goofy (hence the stache) to brighten her day! Although it is pretty unconventional lol, she loved it and thought it was hilarious! It felt really good to still bring people a little bit of joy from the apartment. There even came a funny story out of the mustaches! Right after we made the video, we heard a knock on our door and it was our neighbor bringing by cheesecake to our house! Sister Craddock and I PANICKED! We were throwing props off of us, but I came to the conclusion itd take too long to take off our mustaches so I just full sent and opened the door! His face was shocked to say the least. I explained how we were making a video for a kid and wanted it to be silly and he replies "well, you hit the mark." #ROASTED. It was hilarious.
Quarantine is still pretty boring, but we really are trying to make the most of it! Just to update y'all:
-we still cant crochet anything except a long chain of yarn
-we have been going on like 3 mile walks to get out of the apartment and it has been glorious
-we are still making funny videos to help us laugh
-we finished Saints one and are 15 chapters into Saints 2 #addicted
-our Spanish skills are improving thanks to duolingo!
-my forearm muscles are sore from the extensive coloring we've been doing lol
-we are still studying the heck out of the gospel and it's been legendary
If theres one think the past 12 days has taught me, it's that happiness really is a choice! There are some days we are down in the dumps being stuck in the apartment but we choose to make the most of it and by the end of the day we are just happy! During my extensive study of the Book of Mormon this week, I got to the war chapters (honestly they're some of my favorites!) and the idea that happiness is a choice slapped me upside the head! Just for some context, the Nephites (aka the good guys) are at war with the Lamanites (the bad guys) because the Lamanites want to take away their religious freedom and subject them to bondage. Sounds like the Nephites have plenty to be unhappy about, right? Well, in Alma 50:23 it says "But behold there never was a HAPPIER TIME among the people of Nephi..." Crazy right?! These people are at war, times are uncertain, yet they are feeling so much happiness! The most happiness in the past 550 years! Isnt that insane?! They chose happiness. I know it's way easier to say to just choose happiness, but like the people of Nephi, if we rely on our Savior Jesus Christ during this scary and uncertain time, we too can find happiness! I've felt that this week and I know yall can too :)
I know God's got this. Times may seem uncertain to us, but this is all apart of God's PERFECT plan. Keep trusting in Him and leaning on our Savior and Redeemer to get through! Miracles happen when we trust God and Christ! I love yall and I'm grateful for all yall and the examples you have been to me!
Love, Sister Crouch
Ps during my extensive study of Book of Mormon, I came to the conclusion that the Lord of the Rings is based off the Book of Mormon. Shoot me an email to hear the theory.
