Deep Cover - 5/11/19

Hi!

This week has been pretty interesting. Not too much has gone on since Monday, so I don't have a whole lot to write about. We have pretty much been only teaching English and then coming home to hide out because the government here is putting some crazy restrictions on us right now. They're pretty much watching us all the time, so that's fun. 

Our week was pretty good. Very slow with not much to do though. No news on how the government is doing. We are hoping that things get better though. The English classes are going well. We haven't had any more auditors spying on us. Church is good! We have two people interviewing tomorrow to be baptized next week. That should be good! 

We might be going slightly insane here because that's a lot of time to be cooped up in an apartment with four dudes that you've been with for a year straight, but we try to make the most of it. 

Here's a neat quote that I found in the talk "The Nobility of Man in Choosing Good Over Evil" by Alvin R. Dyer from General Conference in October 1971:

"Man in the sum result of what he thinks and does. Habit is the instrument that molds his character and makes of him essentially what he is. Habit can become a monster to tarnish and destroy, yet proper behavioral traits can bring lasting joy and achievement. To say no at the right time and then stand by it is the first element of success."

I thought that was pretty neat. I encourage you all to make good habits and try to keep them.

Also, shout out to all you Moms out there. You guys are dope. Keep killin it. 

Love you all,

Elder Ridd

Sorry, no pics. I dunno what I'd take a picture of while under house arrest.
