Hello!
So you're all probably anxious for this email and well you're gonna have to read the whole thing to find out more.
Last p day was, what I didnt know, the last normal pday we'd have for a while. It was so fun. We went shopping and then did a last minute district activity at the bowling place. Pictures 1 and 2 are of us playing pool. I honestly don't remember what we did that night. Sorry don't have my journal so this'll be short.
Tuesday was pretty good. We had district council and interviews which were good. Went out and just tried a bunch of people. Had a lesson with Gary which were working on prayer with so that's fun. Well that night while we were heart attacking we ended up locking the keys in our car. 
that was fun. Walked around and chilled till our vehicle coordinator saved us.
Wednesday was when things hit the fan. I already woke up not feeling the best. We went to do service and the elders came in and told us we had to leave. they shut down all public service and that's when we looked at the church news and discovered the shut down of general conference attendance and large gatherings. We were floored. We ended up wandering for a bit and then I wasn't feeling good so we went back home. Picture 3 is of us while we were out. Went back out for dinner and then we went to mutual for a bit so that was fun.
Thursday morning we made some doctors calls and went out for a little bit. We got some things figured out for our apartment. Pictruee 4 is of us loosing our minds. Weekly planned and then we got the news about church being suspended. Well then we waited to hear further news from our mission leaders. Went to dinner and the members are super worried for us. I got a bit overwhelmed and broke down that nif ht. not a fan of being shut off from the world.
Friday morning we went to the doctor for lovely stomach issues I've got going. We went to service for maybe the last time. we'll see what happens. we then went to Walmart to get my antibiotic and Well it was a bit crazy. We were nervous. We tried to go out and about but to be honest I shut down. So much going on and I broke down. We went to our mission leader and I got a blessing. We then went home and I crashed.
Saturday was a bit of a turn around day for me. In the morning we called our office missionaries and they brought me some mail that had a natural supplement my mom sent that I used to take to help with my stress. It helped a bit and our zone leaders gave a great pep talk. We then went out and tried a ton of people. Super productive day. Visited some members and just so happy to have the support. If you have not watched the video from president Nelson GO WATCH IT! He dropped a major thing that after conference we will be focusing on the restoration in its fullness. That hit me hard! For me that made me realize that this whole virus thing is more than likely satan's tactic to try and shut down whatever is coming at conference. That's crazy to think about. I'm interested to see how the next few weeks go.
Sunday was so weird. We weren't given permission for sacrament so it was a normal day. Well kind of. My stomach hated me all day so we did our best but were in most the day. So not much there.
Here we are today. We were at the store at 6:30am to get supplies. They gave us extra money to do so. Most I've ever spent on the mission. Pictures 5 and 6 of our day. This is insane and we're all over it. We're doing all we can to stay positive but slowly loosing our minds. I hope everyone else is doing okay. Let me know your status. I love you all and pray for you every day. Survive the week and don't get Corona. 
Love,
Sister Sydney Hanks 🤜🤛
