“You know it's really strengthened my belief that there is a God not because of any large-scale event but mostly because of all the small things going on in my life.” “Well like you said before, I was sent home from my mission in Africa about six months ago or actually about six months earlier than I was supposed to and since being back all of our worship gatherings have been canceled so yeah it's definitely affected my participation in the religious community.” “Well there's been two worldwide fasts to stop the spread and I'm also pretty sure that there's been some donations made but I know those records aren't really that public.”

Transcription (Omeka Classic)
Interviewer 00:00
Okay, so, we are with Kyler, who was actually sent home from his mission from Kenya, Africa on March 26. So how has COVID-19 affected your beliefs or faith?
Kyler 00:12
You know, it's really strengthened my belief that there is a God, not because of any large scale of it, but mostly because all the small things going on in my life.
Interviewer 00:23
So, is your religious community still gathering currently? How has COVID-19 affected your participation in your religious community?
Kyler 00:32
Well, like you said before I was sent home from my mission in Africa about six months ago, or actually six months earlier than I was supposed to. Since being back all of our worship gatherings have been canceled. So yeah, it's definitely affected my participation in the religious community.
Interviewer 00:52
So, is your religious community supplying or engaged any in any kind of community service and attempt to help alleviate issues caused by the pandemic? If so, what are those efforts?
Kyler 01:04
Well there's been two worldwide fasts to stop the spread and I'm also pretty sure that there's been some donations made but, I know those records aren't really that public.
Interviewer 01:15
Thank you.
Kyler 01:17
Of course. Thank you.
