This morning we had a 6.9 (to 7.4) magnitude earthquake off the shores of Fukushima around 6:00am local time. Fukushima is within our mission boundaries. The earthquake triggered a tsunami which was around 4 feet high. This is to inform you that all of our missionaries have been contacted. All are safe. No one was injured. No serious structural damage occurred to any of our missionary apartments. Please pass this message on to family and friends who may be worried. Know of our deep gratitude for your support of your son, Elder Taylor , as he serves the Lord and these precious Japanese brothers and sisters in the Sendai Mission. My prayers are with you!
