TYPHOON HAIYAN - Updates from Mission Pres. and Stake Pres. Nov 8, 2013

Typhoon Haiyan

Nov. 8, 12:38 am

           Dear Parents,

Just want to give you an update from the Philippines Manila Mission because of super typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) that you have probably heard about.  All of our missionaries (your sons and daughters) are doing fine.  The typhoon is traveling far south of Manila so we will be on the northern edge of the storm and will experience heavy rains and wind tonight and tomorrow. Those in the Manila Metro area should do just fine.  The storm will hit the northern part of the Island of Palawan in about 11 hours where some of our missionaries are serving.   We are taking every precaution for their safety.  We have moved some missionaries away from the storm so they will be safe.  We are encouraging them to stay inside until it passes.  Thank you for your prayers.  We are trying to take care of them like we would our own children.  After the storm passes we will send out an update.  We don't want you to worry.  The Lord takes care of His missionaries. 

With love,

President and Sister Stucki

      Dear Parents,







The super typhoon has passed and all of our missionaries and members in the Manila Mission are fine.  Thank you for your faith and prayers.  The affects of the storm in the Metro Manila area were minor.  The northern part of the island of Palawan was hit hard with a lot of downed trees and damage to homes.  However, all of the missionaries there were safe and unharmed.  We moved the missionaries we could in Taytay and Roxas away from the storm area before it hit.  




We feel so blessed with how the Lord has watched over His missionaries here in our mission.  We love them and are so grateful to serve with them.  We feel of your love and support and the power of your prayers. Thank you so much!




With love,




President and Sister Stucki
