Hurricane Sandy--The Day After

Another update from the mission office....Sean's apartment is located in Rockaway, where the 50+ houses were burned during last night's aftermath.  They are not sure if the missionaries' apartments were impacted.

Hi Parents, Bishops, Stake President’s,

We just want to let you know that all missionaries are safe and accounted for, with no injuries.   We have some that are without power, but they were advised to have enough food and bottled water to last for three days, so that shouldn't be a problem.  Those elders who were in Rockaway have not been able to get back into their apartments yet, so we don’t know any damage there.   I have been where those apartments are and it is my guess that the apartments are fine, but the roads are probably covered with water and we don’t want to take cars down there through that.  All of the Sister Missionaries are out at the Mission Home and they are without power, but they are together and all is well.   President might need a vacation after this.  The President has decided to leave the missionaries that were in the evacuation area away from their apartments for one more day. 

Anyway, all is well, relatively,  here.   

Thanks for your prayers and best wishes. 

Our love to you all.  Sister Shepherd, Mission Secretary
