March 11, 2011 Earthquake

 This is the email we received in response to our inquiries this morning...

Dear Parents of the Japan Tokyo Mission Missionaries,
Inspite of the severe earthquakes experienced throughout the day, particularly the large earthquake at 2:46pm off the coast of Miyagi, North Eastern Japan, all of the missionaries in the Tokyo Japan Mission are safe. We have contacted directly each of the areas in the mission and have heard from each and are assured that all are safe and unaffected.
All the trains in the Mission area are currently unusable, but otherwise there have been very few other effects that will influence our missionaries. There has however been many serious effects in other areas of Japan. 
We are grateful for your constant prayers for your missionaries and ask you keep them and the people of Japan in your prayers particularly at this time.
Best Regards,
Japan Tokyo Mission

東京伝道部の両親の皆様、
一日を通しての大きな地震、とくに2:46PMの宮城県沖の大きな地震にもかかわらず、東京伝道部の全ての宣教師の安否が確認できました。直接、それぞれのエリアの宣教師と連絡を取り、彼らから連絡を受け全員が安全で何も害を受けていないことを確認しました。伝道部内の全ての電車が使えませんが、ほとんどの宣教師は問題がありません。しかし、日本のほかのエリアでは、多くの重大な被害がありました。
みなさんの宣教師のための祈りに感謝しています。これから、特に宣教師と日本のかたがたのために祈っていただくようにお願いします。
よろしくお願いいたします。
日本東京伝道部
