Alicia found information from Sister Smart (wife of President Smart of the Puerto Rico mission) on Facebook and Instagram along with some pictures (Madeline is in all of them) from just after Hurricane Maria. It is great to see how the Lord works and how much love there is for the people and missionaries.
I have had little to no internet service for about a week. We have felt your love, concern and prayers. You may not see your son or daughter in the pictures but be assured everyone is accounted for. We ALL are headed to the airport to fly to Miami now. Two days before hurricane Maria President Smart and I received a strong confirmation from the Lord: “bring them home.” We then decided to bring the 55 sisters to our home and the 100 elders to the mission office. If that counsel had not been given, there would have been different results. Amidst chaos, there were miracles too many to mention here. The missionaries are all TEMPORARILY assigned to service stateside while President and I work from Santo Domingo with Humanitarian aid to help restore the Caribbean islands and bring our little army home again. While I am beyond grateful we are all well, my momma heart hurts to be separated. Que Dios Este Con Nosotros Hasta Vernos (God Be With Us Until We Meet Again).
