So it's been a strange week. It's different at the moment. I knew I'd face trials on my mission but I didn't expect it to come in this way. We're pretty much confined to our apartment now, and sharing this gospel is bizarre because it can only been done online. Knowing that friends are returning home is hard to see because I've found a lot of strength in knowing that I'm sharing the same experiences with them. My heart goes out to them.
These are trying and uncertain times, but I've been reminded again and again of my Saviour Jesus Christ and how He knows exactly how I feel. I don't know exactly how He does that, I don't know how He has felt the anguish, the fear, the pain and the tears of all of those affected by the coronavirus, but I know that He has, and I am so grateful for it. There is peace to be found in Him when we turn to Him, when we understand His atoning sacrifice for us and the love that He has for us. There's always one who knows and understands how we feel, and it's our Beloved Saviour Jesus Christ.
I haven't much else to say, this week has just been a lot of Polish practise, scripture study and prayer. I hope everyone at home is safe and happy and well.
"Learn of me, and listen to my words; walk in the meekness of my Spirit, and ye shall have peace in me."
Speak to you all soon,
