The Lower Lights

Companion's Log Stardate: Oct 12-18, 2020 Okay so. It had been a long week. I know I say that like every time but this has got to be the longest. So long and all over the place and also no where. I've been stressed about things. I have been for quite a while. It makes it hard, on top of everything else, to be motivated to work. I think this has really taken a toll on Sister Wendel. I can tell she was really disappointed that she wasn't transferred this week. I have a recently discovered my tendency to blame myself for things and this time it's true that I am the problem. So more stress there. And it was confusing, and I probably spiraled a bit at times and it was hard. But for some reason on Saturday I felt a lot better and like i can actually do this. So I don't really know what changed and it just kinda makes it confusing to look back but I'm just gonna keep going as I always do. Some other things have happened that relieved more stress so that's good too....

Companion's Log Stardate: Oct 5-11, 2020 So idk this week is a blur, as always. The Rona has finally hit some missionaries in the Ipm (some of my Spanish Elder friends but now that makes it the Spanish flu lol) so we got some restrictions again but we can still teach.  Supposed to have transfers this coming week, a week early, it would have been the freaking fastest transfer of my life even if we had the 6th week so dang! But now we're hearing that it might actually get pushed back so we have no idea what's going on. Yay. Yeah this and others things going on, I guess it's been kinda stressful this week. But I have really loved doing Inktober! Honestly some of them have been a struggle, trying to find something meaningful for the prompt, or maintain that motivation when I feel so dead inside, stuff like that. But the last few have made me happy. Especially the one I posted today, please check it out on facebook Also we made a bunch of cookies to hand out. And when we vi...

Companion's Log Stardate: Sept 28-Oct 4, 2020 Welp still super behind in my journal so idk what happened this week. Yeah I need to catch up But we got to watch the first half of a dress rehearsal for Hunchback of Notre Dame bc we've been helping out with the set, so that was cool! Wish we could've seen the rest though. Sigh so some elders pranked our apartment and got silly string stains on the paintings I've been working on for months, big sad. Also another time Wendel kinda almost set our house on fire just a little bit.  And I last minute decided to do Inktober this year, art takes me forever and I'm gonna die but so far I've really liked it, we'll see if I can make it the whole month. I've been posting them on Facebook if you want to see what inspired each piece.  And General Conference, twas awesome. Good stuff. Tbh I'm kinda tired of hearing about this dang virus, which is just another reason why I really liked Elder Hollands talk. Main take aw...
