イアンの父からの電話で起こされる
「日本が大変だ！」
ハラハラしながらスカイプで両親の安否確認を試みる・・
が、繋がらない
インターネットで詳細を検索
仙台あたりが大事らしい
仙台伝道部で伝道している妹のことが心配になった
祈るしかない
11Mar 1:00a.m.
We were woken up by a phone call from Ian's dad
"There was a BIG earthquake in Japan!"
I run up to the computer trying to call my parents on skype
But no connection..
I go online to see if I can get any detail information
The earthquake was M9.0 and it hit the area of Sendai!!!
where my sister is serving her mission in
Unfortunately, the only thing I can do is to pray
３月１１日午前６時
教会員のある姉妹から電話
私の家族のことを心配して電話口で泣いていた
「こんな時だから、安否確認に集中できるように」と
夕飯に招待してくれた
もう一度両親にスカイプを試みる
今回は・・繋がった！
広島は大丈夫な様子
でも妹の安否は不明
ニュースに釘付け
11Mar 6:00a.m.
A sister from the church called
thinking of me and my family sobbing on the phone
"just so that you guys could focus on getting in touch with your family"
she invited us for dinner
I tried again if I could get a hold of my parents at least
It got connected!
Hiroshima is alright but there is no information about my sister, yet
I was glued to the TV
３月１１日午後５時
母から携帯に電話
人からの伝い聞きだが、妹は無事である模様
安心・・涙が出てきた
でもまだ数人の宣教師たちが不明らしい
祈るばかりだ
11Mar 5:00p.m.
Mom called on my cell phone
telling me that she heard from someone that my sister is alive and is safe
I was relieved.. tears ran down on my cheeks
But there are still a few missionaries missing
feel like praying every second
３月１２日
教会は仙台伝道部全ての宣教師の安全を確認
と言ったが、実は二人の姉妹たちがまだ不明であることが発覚
地震直後に連絡があったので安全だと思われていたが、
その後の津波襲来後、連絡がとれなくなっていた
心配だ
12Mar
The church announced that all the missionaries in Sendai were
safe and accounted for but the president of the mission found out that
there were two sisters still missing (and one of them is my sister's MTC companion!)
Those sisters called in right after the earthquake but the deadly tsunami
hit after the phone call and there was no phone connection after that.
It makes me worried.
３月１３日
母からの電話で、姉妹たちの安全が確認されたことを知る
避難後も人々の事を気にかけて、家々を飛び回っていたらしい
さすがは宣教師、
感動した
13Mar
I got a phone call from my mom telling me that they found those sisters
safe and alive.
They evacuated from tsunami but were worried about their people
so they were running house to house trying to help them out.
Yes, there are missionaries, the Lord's errands!
I was touched just by imagining them doing the Lord's work even in this horrible situation.
デゼレト新聞で妹の避難先での写真を発見（左から２番目の姉妹）
I found my sister's picture in Deseret News(The second sister from the left:))

妹たち仙台伝道部の宣教師たちは
一時新潟へ送られた
が、原発の関係で、教会本部から新しい指示が・・
急遽、札幌伝道部へ送られることに
現在は札幌で主の業に携わっています
たくましい、宣教師たち！
All the missionaries in Sendai Mission were sent to
Niigata for a while
But, because of the nuclear plants, the church head quoter decided to
send them to a different mission called "Sapporo Mission".
It happened so quickly that a lot of the missionaries didn't have their things with them.
But they are now in Sapporo continuing the work of the Lord.
I'm very proud of them!
復活祭に警官？パトカー？！
