Mindy and I are a little nervous. We were glad when they finally got calm seas and after 24 hours in the Pacific, they arrived in Pagan last evening.
I am so behind in blogging and have much to add about their plans and prayers for this trip. I'll also catch you up on my progress, later.
But for now, we need your prayers for Garrett and Thom. I am copying the Volcano Report from today on Pagan.
Mindy believes the ship that sent the report may have been theirs. Yes, it was the MV San Antonio. I confirmed that by speaking to the CNMI Emergency Management Office.~Mindy The good news is that even when they had the big eruption in 1981, no one was killed, even though they evacuated the whole island then. The report below explains this. Please pray for them and Mindy and Brooke back on Saipan.
Much Love,
Linda
