Conner's Facebook post on 3/22/2020:
This is a crazy time and place to live in. The last 8 months have been full of a lot of highs and lows, especially these last few days. As many of you are aware, my mission has been evacuated and I am supposed to be in the U.S. right now. Due to the mass exodus of all the missionaries in Africa, they are having complications getting us home. As you can imagine this is very stressful. Tonight Ghana shuts its borders adding a lot more stress to that. I am really glad that tonight a lot of hard work paid off. I really needed that spiritual uplift. I don't know when I will get home but I will "...be still and know that (He) is God..." (D&C 101:16) I know that everything, in the end, will be alright regardless of the outcome right now. I know that Jesus is the Christ, and he has a plan for all of us. God bless us all.

Late last night we got the news that we are heading home sometime. So I am not stuck in Ghana! If you are not aware, Africa missionaries from foreign countries got told to evacuate last Wednesday. Due to this mass exodus of missionaries, my mission is having complications getting us home before Ghana shut down its borders last night. The church apparently worked things out with the government last night to send us home. This last week was absolutely crazy. Things really got out of hand incredibly fast, and it was a little nerve-racking for a second. Thank you to those who have been sending prayers. I am really glad to have been able to serve here in Ghana for as long as I have and hope to return after things with the Coronavirus calm down. I have really seen the hand of the Lord in my life and know that we have been blessed greatly. Once I get home, I will be quarantined for 14 days in my home in California and be given a temporary assignment to serve somewhere in the states. I wish you all the best and hope you all are safe and happy during these trying times.
