My quarantine time
Quarantine is boring
Last Friday I have the flight to China. This is the most tired travel in my entire life; its tired, because people have to check the temperature, so it really spends time.
When I spend nearly two days on the way I finally arrive to China, it fell so well back home, but before I back to my house and see my family I have to accept 14 days quarantine. So after we leave the airport, the government sending us to the hotel for quarantine. Today morning the government told us a lady on our plane was confirm COVID, her seat is 51F, so all the people who sit 48-56 have to move to another place to isolation. I am so lucky because my seat was 58.
It kind like boring during the quarantine because one person one room and no one talks to you and you can see nobody on those 14 days; the only people we can see every day is the people send food to us every day. They wear the protective suit, gloves, masks so I can’t even see their face, so the only information I know about them as I can know they are male or female from their voice.
Since I back to China I face many challenges. First I have a little bit worried about my health situation, because someone has COVID on our plane. On the other hand, I have to keep awake until 2 am because of the distance school. So, for now, I pray everything is going well, finishing quarantine and back home.

It’s so good to know that you don’t have to go to the hospital since u are not sitting close to that carrier. Hope you will be safe and healthy for the rest of your quarantine! Eat more to be more robust! Don’t forget to do some exercises in the room too!

Frank,
Although I did not have you as a student, I want to let you know how much I enjoyed reading about your journey. It’s truly eye opening and wonderful to hear from your perspective. I am praying that your 14 days goes quickly as I can imagine your family is very anxious to see you, give you a hug, and spend quality time over the summer. May you remain healthy and strong and may God provide everything you need during this time of uncertainty.

What an incredible story so far! I’m glad you chose to write about this event and I’m very thankful for the Lord’s protection over you! The Lord has been bringing you (and my other students), to my thoughts as I remember our Bible class during this time of unrest. You are in my prayers Frank and on Gpd’s Heart. Trust Him.

Great article! One detail you didn’t write about is how you took so much care of your brother, Howard! You did such a good job caring for him as you traveled and you advocated so well to get him all the way home, though there were many challenges! We miss you already! And as everyone makes major sacrifices during this time I’m so proud of your hard work. The time spent with your family will be worth your effort and boredom!

It’s great to hear from you that you made it back to China safe. Even though the process is tiring and dangerous, you overcame all the obstacles. After 14 days, enjoying the Chinese food you missed and remember to send me a picture.
