March 6, 2020 Lee playing the organ at the Jerusalem Center

I had a deeply moving experience while at Sacrament meeting in early March.  I felt the words, "You are so privileged to be here".  This was one of those experiences when you feel the Spirit giving truth.  Following the words was a feeling of gratitude and a sense that we might not be here much longer.  Later in the week I took a picture of Lee playing the organ.  I am writing this on March 14--on March 12th we were told that we had to go back to the United States because of the Coronavirus outbreak.  There will be no more tours or concerts here.  The students are leaving on March 28th.  Update:  The students found out on March 14th that they also had to leave on March 17th and 18th.  Everything in Israel is shut down--the students would not be allowed to go anywhere outside of the Center.  So in 2 days they finished their classes, flew home, and will take their finals online once they get back to USA. We feel so badly that they cannot finish their semester and that the staff at the Center will have their hours cut.  It has felt surreal as we've had to wrap our heads around the idea that we are leaving and will most likely never be back.
