 Dear Parents

Due to the recent outbreak of the plague in Madagascar, the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve in Salt Lake City have asked for the evacuation of the missionaries from the island.    Those currently serving in Madagascar will be re-assigned in the next several days. Additionally, those missionaries who were scheduled to return home between now and January 7 will be released.  Missionaries serving in Reunion and Mauritius will remain.​  We love and appreciate so much their faithful service and we sincerely thank them for their inspiring work in Madagascar.  It is with difficulty that we let them go, but we know they go with our Heavenly Father's blessings.

Please be patient as we process the missionaries into their new assignments.

We would ask you to please wait for your missionary to contact you announcing his/her new assignment. We are working with great zeal along with the Area Authorities and the Mission Department in Salt Lake to make this transition move quickly and smoothly

Again we feel to tell you what remarkable missionaries we have here.  It is with hopeful hearts that we move forward in the work of the Lord.  Please share in our hope and prayers as well as your good words of council and uplift to help your missionary through the needed changes.  We look forward to an expected return to Madagascar in the future and ask for your prayers for the missionaries and the wonderful people of Madagascar.

With Much Gratitude,

Raymon D. Foote
Mission President
