LDS missionaries in Japan all safe
The Church is checking on members of missionaries in the wake of a magnitude 8.9 earthquake that struck the coast of northern Japan Friday, March 11, and triggered a massive tsunami.

Hundreds of deaths have been confirmed in the fifth largest earthquake since 1900 and is the largest earthquake to ever hit Japan.
Further, strong aftershocks continue to shake the area, where thousands were displaced, hundreds of buildings and homes were destroyed and more than four million people were left without power.

As of Friday morning, tsunami warnings were issued for more than 50 countries throughout the Pacific region including Hawaii and the west coast of the United States. Tsunami waves as high as 25 feet hit towns along the eastern seaboard of northern Japan.

According to a Church Welfare report:
Leaders in the following areas outside of Japan report all members and missionaries are safe.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Japan following the recent devastating earthquake and tsunami.
There has been a high volume of inquiries concerning the safety of missionaries serving in the area. The most immediate information is that five of the six missions in Japan have reported all missionaries are accounted for and safe. However, all communications systems in the Sendai area are down. We have not been able to contact each missionary in that mission yet. We continue to work diligently to account for the missionaries in this area and will update information as we are able to do so.
Initial reports from missions in areas affected by tsunami activity show all missionaries are safe.
We are also assessing how the Church might help meet the needs of people affected by the earthquake and tsunami.
