California Trip during the Pandemic

Our country has declared a pandemic. 

Starting in Wuhan, China is January an outbreak of Covid-19 spread.

I never thought it would reach here, but it has. First, Trump stopped all travel going and coming from China.

We heard it started to spread to Japan, Korea, and Italy.

People travelling from these places back to the US were quarantined for 14 days.

Everything seemed to be taken care of, but then cases started to arise in California and Washington.

Now today there is currently 29 cases in Utah who have tested positive for the coronavirus, but there are probably more. 

Trump said today to limit groups of 10 or more to not gather together.

He has told us to stay home as much as possible.

Last week Our Governor, Herbert, cancelled all schooling and groups of 100 or more gathering together.

That affects so many things but especially church. Our worship will now be at home.

Our prophet has allowed all worthy priesthood melchizedek holders to bless and administer the sacrament in their own home.

Our prophet has been preparing us for this for over a year now.

We are so blessed to have modern day revelation from Jesus Christ to a living prophet.

When all this was going down, we were in california visiting Grandma Mathews.

We had plans to drive to Anaheim that night to go to Disneyland for the weekend.

Unfortunately Disneyland closed their doors on March 14, so we decided to not go on the 13th.

Plus it was rainy so it made it an easier decision not to go.

I took it really hard and was so sad about it but my kids took the news just fine and were happy to stay at Grandma’s for a couple more days.

Since it was rainy, we felt cooped up inside.

But any chance we got, we went outside to play on the cars.

We also went to a movie and to visit Dan’s cousin, Todd.

We made the best of it and it was so good to spend those days with Grandma and Kathy.

On the way home, we stopped at the 7 Magic mountains and then spent a day in St. George.

We went to Snow Canyon and scootered on a trail.

It was beautiful and so nice to get out in the nice weather!
