Time to sit and wait

Thoughts on 39 days on quarantine.

I don’t know about how it is where you live but for us, the quarantine will last for another five months. The airport will remain closed until September first. I am grateful for the miracles that have taken place despite the rigid governmental restrictions with the undaunted task of moving the missionaries out of Argentina. 

Daniel have been in meetings all day for the past seven weeks, from the time He wakes up to about 10:00 pm. When we hear people complaining about being bored at home, we can’t relate. I am trying to keep busy cooking, cleaning, organizing and working on Family History. Today we had a good devotional with the Family Search manager and it's impressive all the things you can do from your computer at home. If any of you is interested in updating your family records, this is when. 

I just heard this talk by Elder Lawrence E. Corbridge in it he said the following:

“We live in a world of distractions. Never has there been more information, misinformation, and disinformation… How do we avoid distraction and deception? … There are primary questins and there are secondary questions… Here’s two primary questions: Is there a God who is our Father? Is Jesus Christ the Son of God, the Savior of the world? 

“If you answer the primary questions first, the secondary questions get answered too… There are different methods of learning scientific, analytic, academic, and divine…The divine method of learning incorporates aspect of the other three but ultimately trumps them all by tapping into the powers of heaven… The things of God are made known by the Spirit of God… Jesus said, Look unto me in every thought. Doubt not fear not.” 

And I hope that is what we are all trying to do. We are all trying to figure out how to handle this situation using all methods including the divine method. 

May you stay healthy and strong!

Con amor,
Vero
