Evangeline-

Life has definitely been more difficult now that corona virus is going around. Things are constantly getting worse. The corona virus started out in China, and now someone has been tested positive for the corona vires in Terra Haute! Almost all paper products are out of stock all around the world. All kinds of food are gone from most stores including milk, which is a problem in our house because we drink a lot of milk! The government told our super intendent that all Marshall schools had to close down for at least two weeks. It was the end of life for me. Two weeks!!! No way! And I thought that was bad. A week later, it got moved to THREE WEEKS! Now its the end of the WORLD! Mom said that we shouldn't count on going back to school this year. But its March! We can't stop now! I will miss a whole quarter of school. And AR reward. Usually you'd think, well she can still have fun at home. She can go and see her friends and family still. Well guess what. I can't. The day before yesterday, every one got a text saying at 5:00 everyone could only go to places that are essential, like Walmart. You could get in trouble for going somewhere not essential. Mom has been going to Paris Illinois for Walmart pickup to avoid the germs in the store. They keep having to substitute some items at the store like orange juice. But the worst part is church. We can't go because of the corona virus. I told mom, "It's church!" You can't just close down church!" "It's God's home!" But it made me feel better when Pastor Bob gave a message on Facebook about God and our problems on Earth right now. I wright in my devotion on Sundays and pray a lot like I am really at church. I am also worried about my grandparents because they are older and they are more likely to get it. Mom tells me not to worry until something to worry about happens. But I still pray. A LOT.
