    Good thing you’re no longer a bishop or the media would be having a ball with your statement. I can see the headlines: “Mormon leader advocates more contact, amid virus concerns”

        I wasn't talking about right now!

        I have decided that I am definitely not ready for retirement. 2-3 days of this and I am bored already.

            All senior missionaries are being sent home. The senior couple in our Ward were in tears. They were told yesterday to pack up their car and to drive home to Utah as soon as possible. One problem: when they get to Utah they have no where to live. Their house is currently being leased for another year.

                For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

                Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                    A little surprising. Why would they be in any less exposure at home versus at their apartment in the field?

                            Health insurance also is much less complicated when you are in your own country.

                                    They will be able to leave. Those are just tourists they are sending away. They will let you go to your home country.

                                        I am sure they will get through border as well, though border agents are screening those with symptoms.

                                                My sister just flew home from New Zealand last week. Plane had plenty of room, they stretched out over a seat couch (she said it had legrests), and the customs guy asked where they were returning from and waved them through.
