Greetings from President Foote

Dear Parents,

Greetings from the Madagascar Antanarivo Mission.
We are continually blessed to be able to work with such tremendous Elders and Sisters in this Mission.
Recently, there have been incidents of the bubonic plague in a few of the communities in Madagascar.  We are taking every precaution to insure the safety of each Missionary.รข€‹
As a precautionary measure, we have temporarily moved the Elders in Toamasina (Tamatave) to Antananarivo.  All other missionaries remain in their assigned areas.
All Missionaries are required to take doxycycline each day and for thirty days after their return home, as a preventative measure for malaria but also is prevenative for many other diseases, including bubonic plague. It is very important for them to take this medication. We would ask you to encourage your missionary to be obedient in this matter.
We reiterate that these moves are precautionary.  The missionaries are safe and we have measures in place to keep them safe.  
Please continue to pray for your missionaries and for the Malagasy people  and the great work that is going on here

Sincerely
Raymon D. Foote
President, Madagascar Antananarivo Mission
