We received instructions for Sister Francis to return to her new home in Okinawa, Japan after she finished her missionary service in Hungary. We knew it would take NOTHING LESS THAN A MIRACLE for her to make it safely home!
Dear Sister Francis:
Below is information received this morning concerning your departure. I wanted you to be aware of this in advance. If you have any questions, please let me know~!
Thanks! Sis. M
We have received information back on what will be required for Sister Francis to be able to enter Japan and rejoin her family at the conclusion of her mission in Hungary/Romania. It does appear possible for her to be able to rejoin her family.
Some of the procedures are somewhat complex. If you have questions, pls feel free to ask me. We have a contact in the Travel Office in Japan who will be happy to communicate with the mission/missionary/family if needed.

- Valid U.S. passport

Quarantine requirements
