Evacuation of missionaries

The missionaries are all being taken out of Sierra Leone and Liberia due to the Ebola virus.   There are about 257 in total I think.  Many will be brought to Accra and will stay in temple housing and the Stake centre on the temple grounds.  They will be reassigned, most likely to their home countries. 

Our two humanitarian couples from those countries will come here from the sounds of it and will try to complete their projects from here and also help out with some in Ghana.  

We hope they all arrive as planned.  The Church is chartering planes and last night they didn't get to leave the airport in Liberia because Ghana said they couldn't land here.  It sounds like they are sending some on a Commercial airline tonight.  The charter flight is suppose to leave Sierra Leone tonight and come here.  We are hoping it happens without any problems.  

There is no Ebola in Ghana so we are fine.  Hopefully it gets under control before it gets this far. 

Hope all is well with everyone.

Love, Nancy

  1. It's so good to hear how the church is organizing the evacuation of missionaries. What a scary situation. However, the Lord is obviously mindful. It's definitely also the signs of the times.
