  1. Well, today an interesting thing happened in Sacrament meeting. We had some investigators there, or at least I hadn't seen them before with the missionaries. The missionaries were wearing masks, and in fact, between me, a doctor, and them, we were the ONLY ones wearing masks (the investigators were wearing masks as well). Now, in all common sense I imagine that people should know that there is an explosion of Covid-19 cases going around. I imagine the missionaries told them the general attitude of some of the members in our area towards it. I think that these people would at least have looked around and seen the numbers of members who were not wearing masks. The Speaker gets up today and starts that they've been sick this week with Covid, but that the Lord has blessed them to be well enough to come and speak today. They laughed about it and continued on. Those investigators got up so quickly (almost immediately after the speaker said this) and practically ran out of the Chapel. It was fast enough to surprise me. They appeared to have a startled/surprised/alarmed look on their face. Not sure how else to say it. It's my interpretation of their face as they rushed out, I'm not positive exactly what they were feeling, but their eyes were not happy looking eyes as they rushed out. Now, it is possible they had just gotten some bad news or a relative had been rushed off with an emergency or something, but the timing of it was right after the speaker proclaimed he had Covid. I imagine if that was their response, we won't be seeing them again in sacrament...or at least for a while. It's a shame because that's the first investigator's I've seen at the Church for months. I'm TORN over whether the speaker said the right thing or not. Saying they had Covid was a GOOD thing because it told us that they actually had it recently and could infect all of us there. I casually made my way to the Lobby along with my wife after that, though I didn't leave. I tried not to make it obvious either. On the otherhand, saying that in the middle of sacrament meeting seems to be an unwise thing to do. I may be wrong as to the reason the individuals left (though the timing and speed seem to indicate why they left to me), but it may be that saying things like the speaker did (and I assume they were telling the truth, it could have been some twisted form of a joke seeing how they laughed after saying it) is not the best thing to say in a Sacrament meeting talk. In fact, that is the other feeling I have is that the speaker should have not said anything about this at all. As I said, I'm torn on what should have been said. The Speaker was good to inform all of us, but at the same time I feel stating this caused a little more turmoil than if the speaker had just remained silent.
