Faith's Family Visits/Carona Virus



Right after the sealing Faith and her kids stayed with us before heading home. There was a worry that Cody might have gotten contact with the virus so then she didn't know if she could go home. Then, Geoffrey had to meet with our previous landlord to do a walk through with him of the other house and he was coughing the entire time, worrying us. Faith decided she better leave the next morning to her in laws house until she knew if she could go home. We were sad to see them leave early but we understood. 
That was the last time we had visitors. Probably for a long time. The virus has spread so much that week the governor mandated that crowds no more than 10 be together. The temple closed except for living ordinances for only 8 people. Then it quickly changed again. This week, a few days ago, ALL temples around the world have been closed completely. Not even for living ordinances. Such a sad day. Sad sad thought. No temples doing temple work. Spirits on the other side are mourning with us. Just a day shy now of when we were going to be sealed and ALL the temples are closed, we are all in quarentine, no going out except for essentials, people are working from home if possible, Jarom lost his job as a masseuse, he is looking for other ways of earning money. No one can see each other, there are limits of how much milk and toilet paper and other things at the store that you can buy. 2 gallons of milk and sometimes 1. We need 4 for our family. It is difficult to get a Walmart pickup slot because everyone is doing it. Amazon is slow because everyone is shopping online. It will take 3 weeks for anything to get anywhere. The church food online storehouse is closed, so our order was canceled. The dress I ordered to be sealed in I had paid for expedited shipping a month ago still hasn't arrived. And I am afraid it is coming from China so it could very well have the virus all over it. I tried to cancel it but I don't think that worked. So crazy. We are greatly blessed. Geoffrey has been asked to find out from the numbers who in the company needs to be furloughed. He doesn't like that. His job is safe though. He was even told that his Boss's boss was impressed with the work he has done from home and wants to have a meeting with him next week!
