Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Japan following the recent devastating earthquake and tsunami.

There has been a high volume of inquiries concerning the safety of missionaries serving in the area. The most immediate information is that five of the six missions in Japan have reported all missionaries are accounted for and safe. *Communication is difficult in the Sendai, but all but eight missionaries have been contacted and are safe and accounted for in the Sendai Japan Mission. Church leaders are working diligently to make contact with the other eight missionaries.
