THM Storm Update Saturday 8/26 10:00 pm CT
Missionaries were out some today teaching, baptizing, doing service and finding those prepared to hear the restored gospel. It has rained off and on and the rivers and creeks have risen in some areas due to rains. There were some tornado warnings this afternoon so we had the missionaries in the affected areas return to their apartments early. As of 8 pm, all missionaries were safe in their apartments. We have moved a few missionaries from apartments that are close to swollen creeks.
Tomorrow, many church meetings are cancelled. Others are expecting to have sacrament meeting only depending on conditions. We expect to get rain during the night so we'll assess the situation in the morning and the missionaries will only be able to leave their apartments if conditions are safe. I expect most will spend tomorrow in their apartments studying and preparing for the upcoming zone conference next week. We will expect to provide service and help clean up after the waters recede. We appreciate the prayers of the faithful.
