 This past bit has been good, but earlier, I was coming down with some covid-like symptoms. I normally might not spend too much time at home, if not for the fact that I had also been around someone who came down with covid. Almost no organization wanted me around at that point. After seeing that I would have to quarantine for fourteen days or get a negative test, I took the test. It came back negative at the end of the week, so that was good. In the meantime, I`ve been trying some indexing and family history. Recently, I`ve gotten back into things and have been able to go back to my normal service. Things have been turning up for the better again.

 I haven't been the fondest of cats before, but going to the Humane Society and seeing some of the kittens might have changed that a bit. I just got my first training there recently, and it looks like it might be nice. I think I have a slight allergy to cats, but the occassional contact likely won't hurt. Recently, I got to invit an RM to a service project, which I think went pretty well. Otherwise, things have mostly been going the same.

 This past bit has been going well, following through with a lot of the service I have scheduled. I think it`s been nice to get to know better some of the people I get to serve with. Recently, after waiting for a long time, the Humane Society got back to me about a volunteer opportunity, and I got to attend an orientation meeting there. It looks like it might be good. In unrelated news, our dog, Nutmeg, recently got a very short haircut, and almost looks bald.

Well, that`s most of the exciting news. Things are looking good!

 Been a little bit since I last sent these emails out, but things have been going well overall. Recently, I`ve been given an opportunity to serve in the Temple laundry. We didn`t have huge plans for the Fourth of July, but a member invited us over to their house. We drove down to Maryland to visit Tom a little bit back, and I think mom was rather glad to have someone to help her drive. This week, there is a mission activity where the service missionaries will have an opportunity to gather and serve together.

 We had a trip to Arizona, and this week I got back into service assignments. Shortly after I got back, though, I had cold-like symptoms, and though I doubt it was covid, most organizations don`t want volunteers with those symptoms. I did indexing for a few days during that time. Last Sunday, I got to start working in my calling in the Primary. Things are looking good.

 Not too much exciting going on, though I did get to take Nate and Matt down to Third Phase for some service. It was nice serving with them. School is out now, so things like this might happen every so often. It looks like different opportunities are opening up with Covid rules loosening and with the season changing.

 This week has been mostly following through with normal service stuff. As a family, we got to go on a trip out to the farmer`s market, Thistlethwaite Falls, and Fountain Acres. It was a nice trip, we were sure to get some of the nice Amish treats and have a nice time at the Falls!

We also got a new Elder to the mission, and it`s been nice getting to know him. We got to serve together today. He seems cool.

Not too much else exciting happening. School for Nate and Matt is ending soon.
