Manila; 5:01 PM Fri (PH); 3:01 AM Fri (US)  

Brother & Sister Andersen,

We know there is some concern regarding the recent Typhoon experienced in Manila Philippines. Although your missionary will be contacting you on her regular schedule, we wanted to get information to you as soon as we could.

All of our missionaries are well and safe.  There was plenty of warning for us to make necessary arrangements in case of flooding or high winds, but in fact no one was harmed.  The storm was fast and except for power outages and a few water issues, there were no problems.

Some of you had missionaries scheduled to arrive home in the midst of the storm, who could not fly home on schedule.  Those have all either returned home, now, or will be soon.

Some of you had missionaries arriving in our mission on the day of the storm.  They arrived safely, and all are in their areas with their trainers.

Please don't worry.  We were blessed and protected. Your missionary is back to work as usual.

Thank you for the support we receive and always feel from all of you.  This is the best mission in the world, with the best missionaries.

President Carlos G. Revillo, Jr.
Philippines Quezon City Mission

NOTE: We received word from a ward member on Sunday that Sister Andersen will write to us on Thursday (our Wednesday). Please check back in a few days for her Week 49 update.  Thanks.
