From Lani Hill:
We have not received an email from Elder Hill since March 16th. He and his companion have been in their apartment since a couple of days after that. He will be coming home temporarily, but we're not sure when that will happen. He'll have a 14-day isolation period at home, then will probably be reassigned to a mission here in this country.
On March 16th in a video call, Ben told us that all the missionaries were given extra money to purchase food and supplies for 2 weeks, from a list provided by Sister Panzacchi (the mission president's wife). The missionaries were told to box up all the extra things they bought and put them away for an emergency. But no one guessed it would be so soon!
Sister Panzacchi also asked every missionary companionship to send her many pictures of their food and supplies AND of their sparkling-clean apartment. Ben and Elder Thornton were happy that they had done a deep-clean of their apartment a few weeks earlier, without being told.
We spoke with Ben on the phone today. He and Elder Thornton are sad that all of a sudden, everything they were working on with investigators had to come to a crashing halt. He said it's kind of discouraging. But he's willing to do what he is assigned to do.
