My new companion is Elder Ortiz. I have been able to learn a lot from him in just about two weeks; a short time. I have met many current investigators, members of the church, and many others that have accepted me. I will miss many in my previous area, Coatzacoalcos. My heart is full of fondness of the time there and those that I was blessed to teach and know; I will talk to and keep in touch with many there.
Elder Ortiz has helped me learn some effective teaching methods that will be of great help today and in the future while serving as a missionary of the Lord and sharing his Gospel. Upon arrival here, an investigator family has kept me fed with many tacos and other great food. We have even played some soccer with some children.
I hope all is well with each of you during this time of uncertainty regarding the COVID-19/coronavirus. Pres. Whitworth and Sister Whitworth have instituted a constant reminder for each missionary that of the need to incorporate personal hygiene and other areas that can be done to help prevent the spread of the virus. I am truly grateful to my Heavenly Father to be able to serve him as a missionary at this time and here in this mission. There is no other place I would rather be or anything that I would rather do. My testimony of the truthfulness of the Gospel has grown so much these past few weeks!
God bless each of you. Thank you for your prayers for me and all the missionaries that serve throughout the world.
-- My mission president, President Clark Whitworth and his wife, Sister Jennifer Whitworth sent the following email to parents/guardians of all missionaries serving in the México Villahermosa Mission on March 6th, 2020 regarding the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) outbreak.
Dear Parents of Missionaries serving in the Villahermosa, Mexico Mission,
We are very grateful to have your Missionary serving here with us in Villahermosa. We love the missionaries very much and their health and well being are extremely important to us. The COVID-19 virus is receiving world wide attention. We want to reassure you that everything is well here, and that we are taking appropriate steps to protect the missionaries health.
Missionaries are receiving a reminder to follow standard preventive health practices, such as
- Frequently washing hands
- Avoid close contact with anyone who has cold-like or flu-like symptoms.
- Thoroughly cook meat and eggs.
- Cover nose and mouth with a tissue or elbow when coughing or sneezing.
The Missionary Department is closely monitoring the development of the COVID-19 throughout the world and is in close contact with Area Presidencies, area medical advisers, and health professionals, who will let us know very quickly if any additional measures need to be implemented.
Even though your missionary is in a low risk area for international travel, we take this very seriously and are following all safety precautions.
Your thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
President and Sister Whitworth

Pres. Russell M. Nelson - Message of Hope and Peace - COVID-19 (Coronavirus)
-- Pres. Russell M. Nelson, March 14th, 2020 shared the following:
My dear friends, our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ know us, love us, and are watching over us. Of that we can be certain.
These unique challenges will pass in due time. I remain optimistic for the future. I know the great and marvelous blessings that God has in store for those who love Him and serve Him. I see evidence of His hand in this holy work in so many ways.
So, during these uncertain times, be comforted by this promise from the Savior. He said, “I the Lord am bound when ye do what I say.” I promise you that joy is always within the reach of everyone who will hear Him and obey His laws.
I love you. I pray for you. And I promise that you will receive comfort and peace as you continue to hear Him.
