"I have corona!" "Okay have a nice day!"

Hello!

The Coronavirus is so rude! All classes at both campuses we work on have been moved online and the term ends in a week. The next term has been moved completely online so all the students are dipping!✌🏻 IV is turning into a ghost town! The people who are here are either leaving or self quarantining themselves! 

There has only been one case in IV and that is just a rumor! Everyone is super on edge though. We knocked on this one kid's door and he opened a little cutout and was like "I'm a doomsday-er" he told us the world is ending and we should not be out and about! He said he hadn't been outside in three days, when we offered to bring him something he was like "you could bring me 50 lbs of rice". It was a memorable contact to say the least!

Our ward mission leader passed out and was seizing at institute this week. They called the ambulance and he was taken to the hospital. They tested him for the virus but the test was negative. It takes 24 hours to get the results so the whole ward was spooked for a minute there! We were just given further instructions on mission protocol with the virus and turns out we should have told our leaders and been quarantined but...we didn't know!

Church and all activities have been canceled but we are still working! We've been given instructions to not touch anyone at all so that's awkward. We are trying to teach people but many are leaving for home or don't want to leave their house so we have been having lessons over Skype a lot!

 Missionaries here have been given the opportunity to have sacrament meeting as a district and it is such a blessing! We get to partake of the sacrament and receive spiritual strength and renewal! We also study come follow me together, it's so great!

We set our friend Gavan on date for April 25 this week but he really needs to come to church to develop the habit and friendships. We may have to move his date back so he can have a bit more time to progress!

Life is a but crazy over here and things may change even more soon! We are just trusting in the Lord that he will support us through this time and that we will be able to see miracles as we continue to serve! People need a message of hope right now with so much fear and confusion. We are doing our best to brighten people's lives and give them a broader perspective of this time!
