Vaccinated!

Hello everyone!


After many weeks of waiting lists, we were finally able to get our first dose of the covid vaccine! We had to leave the mission boundaries and drive to Aurora, CO which was about 30 mins away. When we were getting close, I started to get nervous because it was in a sketchy part of town and smelled like weed. The building was super sketchy too and we had to go through a metal detector and stuff which was super weird but we got our shots so all is well! When we got back to Highlands Ranch, I was so grateful for the area I've been blessed to serve in. It's so beautiful and the people are so kind. I've been here for a while now so I think I've gotten used to it and have started to take it for granted but that time outside the mission made me really count my blessings :)


I had a little headache that evening and my arm was pretty sore the next few days but other than that, I didn't get any bad side effects. 


We also went on exchanges this week and Sister Wangsgard came to the Saddle Ranch area with me! We realized that we went to rival high schools (Skyline and Olympus) and grew up pretty close to each other! It was weird though because we've been in the same zone for 3.5 transfers and we never figured that out before haha.


Our friend Jackson (who we had to pass off to the YSA missionaries a few weeks ago) showed up at our ward yesterday and said he feels more comfortable in a family ward. So he might get passed back off to us! He is still getting a few things worked out but has a strong desire to be baptized soon!


Other than that, our week wasn't super exciting, just the usual missionary stuff and lots of work on Facebook. I'm still doing great and just loving the area and Sister Ray!!


Love, Sister Megan Young
