oUpdate on the Outbreak of the Bubonic Plague

Dear Parents

Hello once again from the Madagascar Antananarivo Mission.  The work is progressing because of the constant love and diligence of the missionaries. We continue to marvel at the faithful, positive elders and sisters you have shared with us and the people of Madagascar.

We are sending you another update on the information we have received about the outbreak of the bubonic plague here in country and the precautions that the mission is taking to insure the safety of your missionary.  We are monitoring the situation closely.

First, we have instructed the missionaries to not go door-to-door contacting in the areas of concern at this time.  Secondly, we are stressing the importance of taking Doxycycline, and ensure you that they are, with the exception of a few who are unable to for other health reasons.  In addition, all missionaries are instructed to keep their homes clean, wash their hands often, and to not ride on public transit.

We have moved missionaries from areas close to areas that have had known cases of the bubonic plague. We have relocated them to outlying communities until the health situation subsides.

Thank you for your support and prayers


President Raymon D Foote
