Waking up to an earthquake

We heard about the earthquake and tsunami warning yesterday but were not worried about Connor.  Glad to hear from the mission. Here is President Warnicks letter.

Dear Parents,

This is a brief note to let you know that your missionaries are all safe and accounted for following this morning's earthquake off the northeast coast of Japan. The quake, occurring at 5:59am local time, measured 7.4 on the Richter scale; but was still felt here in the mission some 250 miles away. Although the resultant tsunami warnings for 10 ft. waves along the northeastern coast of Japan prompted evacuation from low-lying areas there, the impact for us here in the mission was simply a gentle rocking in our beds as we woke up this morning--there was no damage or injuries here.

We love your missionaries and will continue to do everything in our power to keep them safe. We appreciate the constant love and support you show your missionaries.

Sincerely,

President J. Paul Warnick

Japan Tokyo South Mission
