Tornadoes in OK!

The missionaries in attendance at the Leadership Training Meeting held May 24, 2011. About 5:00 the meeting was interrupted by tornado sirens and the missionaries were directed into the women's showers at the stake center in Moore.

The Mazzio's man delivered our pizza--despite the looming danger outside! Very impressive!

Following the storm, all missionaries were safe and accounted for, a great blessing from our Father in Heaven who was obviously watching out for our Elders and Sisters that day!
