Current events and concerned family and friends - An email from the mission president's wife 2013.04.09


Sister Robarts,
 
Like everyone, we continue to watch the news about North Korea's actions. For the past three the years the church has asked us to have emergency plans in place, and again emphasized that.  The embassy is asking people to be cautious.  Each year during the spring the US does maneuvers here, and North Korea always starts their chatter.  Also every five years South Korea gets a new president and North Korea tries to flex their muscles and see where the new fence is.  North Korea also has a new leader, so the combination is making much more noise than we have had in the past.  The Korean people are watching the situation closely of course, but life goes on very normal here.  We pray and appreciate the prayers from each of our missionaries families that this will settle down quickly.  Like you, I have full confidence that  our missionaries will be safe and their presence is very reassuring to the Korean church members.
 
Pres. Furniss and I will be returning to the United States in July.  We are delighted that the missionaries will have a wonderful new president whom they already know from the MTC.
 
Thank you for your prayers
Sister Furniss
