My daughter, Hermana Turner was with Hermana Green that night. She was 3 weeks from the end of her mission and was one of those sent directly home instead of reassigned. Her account of the events is the same as Hermana Green’s. Hermana Post was her companion. It was heartbreaking for her to have to leave the people of PR in their darkest hour. They still need our fervent prayers and assistance. I am anxious to see how the Miracle of the Caribbean comes to pass. Right now it is so very sad. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you, thank you. I am Hermana Bianucci's mom. We realize how much you all meant to each other. She said it was like ripping her heart out, tearing it into a million pieces and then throwing it all over the country. We are still praying for all you and the people of Puerto Rico. We have hope for your new missions and realize this is all part of Heavenly Father's plan. There are still people waiting for you. We love you and thanks for sharing part of your story.

Thanks for sharing your observations and story! Thanks for being of such spiritual, emotional and physical support to so many! Thanks for your service and sacrifices! It's a blessing all the missionaries seem to have been safe. The contributions of the LDS Church will continue to bless many people. Our prayers continue to be with you all and those suffering in Puerto Rico! Nadine N. Allen, S. Jordan, UT

Wow!! Thank you for this report. I do hope you will publish the next installment. I'd like to know the new assignments Sister Green and the other missionaries were given. Where are they serving now? How many ended their missions early? How early?
