    Pres. Nelson has called for a worldwide fast. I don’t recall such a thing happening in my church tenure.

    I was looking for a spot to post this because of how big the role of fear has caused this world to go crazy over this virus:

    1 John 4:18

    18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

    Remember to help everyone out, show your love so that we can all get through this together!

    This is probably a dumb question: can the sacrament be administered in your home with one Priesthood Holder?

    Nothing from our ward or stake makes this clear?

    Provided the bishop has authorized the person, all it takes is one.

    We were directed today to cease getting together to do the sacrament and to cease taking it to others. We are still encouraged to do the sacrament and worship at home as families when there is an appropriate priesthood holder in the home. I know a couple people in my ward this is not going to sit well with.

    I would love it if this made leadership realize there is absolutely nothing in the prayer itself that mandates it be spoken by someone who has been ordained to an office in the Priesthood. It is a tradition only. Granted, it is a long-standing tradition that might be hard to change, but we have done that in the past with other things.

    I’m not holding my breath, but it would be wonderful.

    My overseas daughter has contracted Covid19. She was tested Sunday. Confirmed this morning. She is on house quarantine but on the list for ambulance pick up if the fever portion kicks in.

    The world is looking very different to me right now.

    Oh no. I’m sorry mom3.

    Most cases are mild. Most cases are mild. Most cases are mild.

    mom3, I’m sorry to hear that too. This really seems to be a strange period in my life time.

    I pray that she recovers quickly.

    Oh, no, mom3. I’m so, so sorry. Please keep us informed, and we will keep her and you in our prayers. How hard, too, to be separated during this time.

    We are on day 3 now. No fever yet. We hope one doesn’t spike, but the ambulance is ready if it does. The minute it starts climbing she is supposed to call. She did just send a text (It’s 4:00 am) saying the pain in her chest and cough were worse. She will call the advice desk at dawn. We are living on Zoom, Whatsapp, and other technology. She really can’t talk because it ignites the cough. Even though the cough is never gone. It’s like a severe case of bronchitis or pneumonia.

    We keep tabs on her every couple of hours. We are having a family meal tomorrow. By Zoom. She will sip her dinner soup, we will eat and connect from where ever we are.

    It’s gonna be a long 14 days.

    mom3, what country is she in? No fever is a good sign.
