You have likely heard that Hurricane Sandy is expected to hit the East Coast tomorrow night or Monday. We want you to know we have taken precautions of safety to protect your sons and daughters. We had them purchase non-perishable food and water in case power goes out. Each missionary has a designated "safe house" with a church member in the event their apartment becomes unsafe. In the event the storm is as heavy as is anticipated, they are not to leave their apartments and/or safe house until the storm dies down. For those with vehicles, their tanks are filled. All were instructed to have flashlights and extra batteries on hand. These are just some of the precautions we have taken in preparation for the storm.
Each missionary is to check in with the mission Sunday - Monday evening to make sure everyone is present and accounted for. As long as power is maintained in the Mission Home, I will send you nightly emails to keep you updated. I'm sending this preemptive email to avert receiving phone calls from parents wondering about the safety of their son or daughter.
We love your children as our own and will do all we can to ensure their safety. Thank you for entrusting them to us. Please continue to keep them in your prayers and have faith that the Lord will continue to watch over and protect His servants.
Much love!
President Matt Riggs
Washington DC South Mission
