So I'm supposed to actually call you guys right now but the internet
is down at the only decent computer shop near by and the computer shop
we're at right now has a weird 2010 version of Google Chrome so it
isn't capable of video calling. Anyways, I'm just supposed to tell you
that we're okay and that nothing bad has happened. Church has been
cancelled and they also said that the branch will try and give
sacrament at the houses of members at least once a month (which
implies that it might be a while before it's administered at church
again). We're supposed to just keep working normally though. I'm not
sure how that's supposed to work though since people aren't allowed to
be baptized unless they attend church four times.. and that can't
really happen unless church is being held. We also were told to buy
lots of groceries yesterday. It was more than 5000 pesos worth of
food. We used all our emergency funds. We were also told to by lots of
hand-sanitizer/rubbing alcohol but none is available in basically our
entire mission. Everyone already bought all of it. Also it's
interesting that the government here has banned flight in and out of
the country for at least a month. It's all pretty funny though because
everything was just perfectly fine and normal (except that earlier
this week they banned handshakes/physical contact with anyone,
including other missionaries) until yesterday when they cancelled our
district conference and then everyone started freaking out, and then
the government banned flights. We feel pretty safe and fine though.
Nothing else really seemed to happen. I'll probably be stuck in the
Philippines for the rest of my life though. Haha. Just kidding.
Anyways, I'll call you on Monday and give you a real update on a video
call.
