I'm home for this short "Mission" Intermission... hopefully! Thanks Covid-19.. What a crazy time we are in..... But, as we believe, this is just the beginning... 5 days ago I got home on March 22, 2020. It all started on March 16, 2020 in the Philippines when we got a notice from our Mission President that we needed to pack and be ready to move out immediately... The Presidency of the church got word that they needed to move out all foreign Missionaries immediately out of the country or risk their safety staying in the country as the Virus would continue to spread there.
So, as they took the safest measures they could to move 1600 missionaries in 22 missions in the Philippines and put them all in the MTC there. They were successful in doing so. They then were in the MTC another 3 to 4 days waiting for the church to then Charter 5 jumbo planes to bring them all home. All missionaries were cleared from having the Virus when they left, so the risk of them getting it was more from us than from them. He is in quarantine for the next 14 days and will hopefully hear if he will be reassigned on to another mission or will be released and Served his time.
We are so happy he made it home safely. We continue to pray for all the missionaries coming home and that are still in the field... Enjoy this togetherness with your families, as life will get back to normal soon enough.
