BREAKING Teen Utah missionary not heard from since devastating cyclone struck New Zealand is believed to be alive
Logan Williams had been serving in the town of Wairoa when Cyclone Gabrielle struck the country's northern island overnight Monday. At least four people have died in the storm and over 1,400 people are reported to be"uncontactable," according to the Associated Press.
“We expect that … the four elders will be back in their area and communications will begin to return to normal over the next few days,” Mission President David Thomson of the New Zealand Wellington Mission said. As of Thursday, the church said it has no plans to bring Williams and others back to the U.S., but may move them out of particular area in New Zealand where they are serving.
Church leadership also reported that"several meetinghouses," especially in the north of the country and Hawke's Bay, suffered flooding and other damage.
