Another Week of Quarantine, Flowers, and Webx Training

Wow, there is not much to say about our week.  Thank goodness for the ongoing construction on the temple.  We walk over everyday to "supervise" the workers, who do not seem to be concerned with this quarantine and corona virus.  We had a "hard freeze" this past week that nipped some of the flowers, but they are still very beautiful.
Taking down the spires.  Notice the men working so high up.

The smaller pieces of granite are taken down in a basket.

We do have a good time with webex and talking and seeing the family.  We do that on Thursday night and this week we played Geneoprody and Wheel of Family Fortune.  They are two fun games your family can play on fhtl.byu.edu.  Check it out, it is really fun and you can get to know your ancestors better.
Flowers in the middle of the road between Temple Square and the Family History Library
The tulips are more open than any tulip I have ever seen.

Bob did his first online class on Thursday, and he did a great job.  The training zone is doing two classes per day now.  If there is one advantage of online, we now have over 100 missionaries as opposed to 15-20 attending our classes.  I have to say we are all getting better with this webex stuff and sharing our screen to a power point and then live in Family Search.  All missionaries are required to wear a face mask when we go out.  We still walk without them because there is no one around.

Debra watching the crane work from the plaza.  This is how we supervise.
Bob's back has been giving him problems this past week.  We are working on it and pray it will improve quickly. We did have two more good aftershocks, both were 4.2.  Will we ever stop shaking, or should I say quaking?
We found a good Thai restaurant called Sawadee that we will go to again.  Of course everything is takeout right now.  Great Green Curry, Debra's favorite.

One deep hole!

The biggest back hoe ever.  It was picking up huge slabs of cement to be hauled off.
