The One Where I Stepped Foot in a Bowling Alley for the First Time in Five Years

 Companion's Log

Stardate: July 13-19, 2020

Yup we went bowling for p-day. Spoiler alert, nothing blew up or caught fire. A little disappointing honestly. Maybe the curse is broken? Or the Lord protects his servants. Or maybe we'll find out one of us got covid and the whole mission will have to quarantine again, who knows.

Okay let's see, we've been exhausted lately, it's crazy. Went to my second counseling session on Thursday. Idk not really all that helpful and I'm not going to see her next week so I still felt like I wasn't really getting help. But somehow I was finally able to really get out of the spiral, maybe just realizing that I can't really be completely dependent on counseling, it'll be a slow process so I gotta kinda take care of it myself. So I felt a whole lot better the rest of the week. It's a little strange actually, looking back on it now. Still doesn't really make sense lol but I'm going to ride with this for now I guess. 

We taught Jade how to use watercolors a bit! It was so much fun I loved it! Can't wait for more opportunities to use my talents for the work, that makes me happy. We also helped the Payton's paint their kitchen/dining room, very different type of painting but it was fun! And exhausting. 

So I finished my painting...the one from for-ages ago. Yeah it took awhile but here it is. This is one of my favorite stories in the book of mormon, the story of the Jaredites and their journey across the depths of the stormy sea

Ether 6:3 And thus the Lord caused stones to shine in darkness, to give light unto men, women, and children, that they might not cross the great waters in darkness.

6 And it came to pass that they were many times buried in the depths of the sea, because of the mountain waves which broke upon them, and also the great and terrible tempests which were caused by the fierceness of the wind.

8 And it came to pass that the wind did never cease to blow towards the promised land while they were upon the waters; and thus they were driven forth before the wind.

9 And they did sing praises unto the Lord; yea, the brother of Jared did sing praises unto the Lord, and he did thank and praise the Lord all the day long; and when the night came, they did not cease to praise the Lord.

I'm too tired to write out the explanation so I'll just let you read it and figure out what speaks to you :)
