A letter from President Gee and his wife

Dear Parents,
I often have a desire to write to you about how appreciated your children are, but there are so many wonderful missionaries that I can’t seem to make it happen. I have decided to go modern and use e-mail to communicate with you. My plan is to send a sentence of two to keep you informed about the mission from the mission president’s point of view. We hope you will enjoy this and that it will be helpful.

The first message I want to send is concerning tornados and other newsworthy weather events in Oklahoma. The tornado season is almost over and so far it has been rather mild. If there is any weather that would put any of the missionaries in danger, President Gee watches the weather news like a hawk. The remote is in one hand and the cell phone in the other. If there are severe storms or tornados possible we can see exactly where they are predicted to be. In the metropolitan area they put maps of the cities on the television and tell viewers which streets are in danger. President Gee calls any missionaries who might be in the path to let them know what is happening. The news media makes it sound like tornados are everywhere in the mission. The truth is they seldom touch down, even if they form and when they do they cover a limited area. That doesn’t mean they aren’t dangerous. It just means it isn’t as scary here as you might think it would be. Besides, we feel the Lord is watching out for his messengers and prayer has great power. We want you to feel certain that we are doing everything we can to keep them safe. We love your children so much! We need your faith and prayers. Thank you for your support. Until the next time, may you all be blessed! Feel free to e-mail me anytime. My address is sistergee@myldsmail.net. President Gee sends his love also.
Love, Sister Gee
