Oregon City Oregon - Week 13 - March 30- April 5, 2020

Big changes this week for Evan and all of us, too. Evan, along with a couple plane loads of missionaries, were brought back from Argentina---because of our evil friend, Covid-19. His series of flights and layovers totaled about 45 hours. Someone on the Missionaries in Buenos Aires Facebook page sent out this photo of all the young missionaries waiting for busses to take them to the airport.

We knew we shouldn't/couldn't go to the airport because of "social distancing"

"SIDE BAR" here are Jessica and Bev practicing SD

But - Jessica and kids did go to the airport.

So- since we weren't going to the airport, we decided to have a "Welcome Home" celebration on Brunner Road at midnight:thirty. Made a sign -

And with fireworks and loud "whoops", we welcomed Elder Scott home.

Bev and Paul had a secondary welcome at Donaldson Park

With that excitement over, we decided to do other exciting things - like remove ivy from tree trunks and cut down holly trees from Jessica's property.

Here's a nasty holly

And now Dad is getting serious about his job.

And this is the way it should look!

Even got a little holly tree. There is just one more holly tree to take down and two trees with ivy.

I finished making the quilt top this week. I've ordered a king size sheet set for the backing.

General Conference was this weekend. It was weird because it was all by internet.........really wasn't the same without the sense of the live audience and the live choir.. Eight new temples were announced, but two were especially remarkable- one in Shanghai, but only for Chinese members of the church.....tourists can not use it. And the other one was in DuBai. Also a "Proclamation of the Restoration of the Church" was presented.
