Weed Farming & Exploring Monasteries

Hey Everyone!

Even though Armenia is doing pretty bad with the spread of COVID-19, I've been able to go on a couple of awesome adventures the past few weeks! First, my companion and I went up north to close some more apartments in a city called Gyumri. When we got there, we found out that one of the neighbors received a key for the apartment somehow and was using the empty space to grow marijuana. Thankfully, we were able to get out of that contract pretty quick haha. I think after closing 10 apartments around Armenia, I will be more than prepared if I ever decide to go into real estate one day. Two weeks ago, the missionaries were really starting to get worn out from being inside for so long, so the Picards took our district down south to visit one of the most notorious attractions in Armenia, a monastery called Khor Virap. On the drive back, we drove up to the peak of this beautiful mountain where we could see the borders of Iran, Turkey, and Azerbaijan! It was absolutely crazy. The best part of the trip was that before we left that morning, I had a spiritual prompting to bring my football. Somehow we found the only grass field I have ever seen in the entire country of Armenia and all of us got to run around for an hour. I WAS SO DANG HAPPY. It's funny how you can be on the border of 4 Middle Eastern countries at the same time and want nothing more than just a grass field to throw the football on. I guess life is about the little things.

Some Highlights:
•Road trip down to Khor Virap
•Teaching a few youth from France
•Launching the church's FB & Instagram page
•Delivering hundreds of welfare packages

Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life. (Proverbs 13:12)
