Mission interrupted in a hurry!

On our first week in isolation, Daniel and his team have been working 24/7 tying to find ways to relocate all missionaries to return home. That is a daunting task considering that all airports in Argentina are closed and all counties are blocking all citizens to come in and out of the boundaries.

In its 190 year history of missionary work this is a first time ever the a pandemic has caused, a mandatory quarantine, shuffled around, reassigned and release missionaries around the world in a speedy manner. What a head-ache!

Home bound

Today the President of Argentina declared a curfew decree for all inhabitants to remain home starting at midnight tonight. From now until the end of March everyone should stay home. Daniel has already been working from home all of this past week anyway.

At this time of uncertainty is good to keep a gratitude journal. Each of us plays a role. And we do make a difference no matter how big or small our contribution may be.

A day to remember

Daniel and I had Church at home today for the first time.


It went like this:
Opening Hymn: Amad a otros  (Love one another) 
Opening prayer: Vero 
Sacrament hymn: Asombro me da (I stand all Amazed) 
Partaking of the sacrament administered by Daniel 
Talk: Vero
Closing hymn:  Si hay gozo en tu Corazón (There is Sunshine in my heart today) 
Closing prayer: Daniel 

Today it became clear to me how the power of the priesthood is invaluable in times like this and for those who need someone who holds the priesthood, ministering is essential. 


We continued with dedicating our home. We still had not done it since we moved in last August. Daniel said a wonderful prayer. We continued our service with come follow me and watched King Benjamin’s video. 

The feeling was awesome. I loved having the sacrament blessed and passed by my wonderful husband. He felt the spirit so strong. It had been decades since he had the opportunity to bless the Sacrament. I felt like my home turned into a piece of heaven. What a truly blessed moment.
