John is retiring 18 Nov 2010
We just returned from two months in Madagascar, we were coordinating the church's efforts in the recent National Measles Vaccination Campaign. It was wonderful to have the opportunity to visit Madagascar again and witness the growth - we were able to attend the creation of the District in Tamatave. In addition, this month, there will be a district formed in Antsirabe and the Stake in Antananarivo will be split.

Many of you will remember John, one of the Mission Drivers (there were three, John, Roger and Marcellin). Well, John is retiring at the end of the year and President and Sister Donnelly want to put together a Remembrance Tribute for him.

If there are any of you out there who would like to submit a message to John, (they suggested it would be preferable to write it in French but I am sure Malagasy would be great too), please send it to me and I will forward it to President Donnelly. (I see that he is not registered on this website so I think it would be wise to not publish his email address)

Thanks for your help - we look forward to hearing from you.

Current Status in Madagascar 13 Mar 2009
Hey, I don't know if anyone has been following the news, but things are pretty bad in Madagascar... what's going on with the missionaries? France 24 and BBC have been following the crisis there and France 24 has often featured it as their top story on their webpage. Last I heard the missionaries were still there, yet the BBC report says, "Meanwhile, foreign governments are advising people not to travel to Madagascar and the tourist industry, a vital source of revenue, is reeling. More than 95% of foreign bookings have been cancelled." Does anyone know if the missionaries have been evacuated?

Travel 06 Feb 2009
My husband and I are presently making travel arrangements for a visit to the Seychelles, Reunion, and Mauritius in April. We plan to meet our son as he completes his Mission on Reunion, then take him with us to Mauritius and back home to Denver. We're looking for feedback and ideas from any other family who has gone to meet their Missionary. Also, does anyone know how to reach Sister Jill Vaughn or her family? We heard they did this sort of trip. Thanks, Mary Faith

Sister Missionaries Removed 24 Mar 2006
Hey Brandon, I just thought I'd give you the shortened version of what I've heard from the sisters in Mada. Basically, they have been getting harrassed a bit but it's gotten worse and more frequent. So, they are pulling them out for security reasons. Sad, I know. Hopefully they will be put back in the future.

Dear Friends,

Once again, it appears that we will not be able to be out for the reunion. We were there in Aug for a baptism and the Howell/Turner wedding and in Sept for a funeral, so unfortunately, for Oct. it's not good. Hope that you have a GREAT reunion and we'll be thinking of you.

PLEASE CHANGE OUR ADDRESS on your rosters so we're not missing out on any news and wedding announcements. It's 405 N. Broadway - Leavenworth KS 66048. Phone is 913-651-3176. Email is lflanagan@lvnworth.com

Looking forward to hearing from you.
Love, Linda and Steve Flanagan

Death of Loulou 06 Jun 2004
Dear former missionaries,

This morning, we were copied an e-mail message from the Harmons to the Flanagans announcing the untimely death of Sister Loulou (RAZANAJATOVO, Vololoniaina) from Ankadifotsy on Saturday, June 5, 2004. As you may remember, Loulou worked in the Mission President's apartment. According to Sister Harmon, she came to work last Wednesday and seemed fine, but developed severe stomach pains thereafter. She then passed away even after being placed in the care of a doctor. That is all we know at this stage. If you wish to express condolences, we are sure that you could do so by e-mail through the Mission Office (madamiss@simcro.mg). Otherwise, the family address is: Lot IVL27, Ankadifotsy, Antananarivo (101), Madagascar. We believe that the funeral is on Monday, June 7.

We hope all is well with all of you and your families.

John and Marsha Hill

LDS QUOTE:
"Wouldn’t this be a good time for a little self-evaluation to determine if we still have the same relationship with our Father in Heaven that we enjoyed in the mission field? If the world has diverted us from the practice of prayer, we then have lost a great spiritual power. Maybe it is time that we rekindle our missionary spirit through more frequent, consistent, and mighty prayer."
- Elder L. Tom Perry
Ensign, Nov. 2001
