Dear Families and Leaders of Missionaries serving in the Philippines Laoag Mission,
Typhoon Rosita, known internationally as Yutu, is expected to make landfall in central Luzon as early as Tuesday morning October 30, 2018. Unlike Typhoon Ompong that hit us directly last month, it appears the direct path will be below our mission. However, we will likely feel some associated heavy wind and rain. As for now, we have asked our missionaries to be on alert and ready to respond to a possible evacuation within the next 24 hours (although currently this looks unlikely).
All missionaries have been instructed to increase their 72hr emergency kits to include a one-week supply of food and water. Rest assured that appropriate measures will be taken to ensure the safety of your missionaries. We will monitor the situation closely and provide updates.
We love these missionaries and consider them to be the best of the best! Thank you for preparing them so very well!
With great love and appreciation for your support,
President and Sister Peterson

Mom's notes
I've been following this for the last week and it looks like his area is in the path of the typhoon. He is not worried, but will remain in his apartment during the storm. We will be praying for the safety of everyone in the Philippines.
I was updated tonight that President Peterson did end up bringing all the missionaries into Laoag again for this typhoon too. I was very relieved with this news because Brodie’s Province was one hit pretty hard by the typhoon. The Philippines has been hit by 18 typhoons this year, I don’t think that is something I can get use to. The mission President said they are more prepared for the power outages this time. I hope this doesn’t mean another month of no power. Praying for the Philippines.
