To parents of missionaries serving in the Ukraine Donetsk Mission:
I would like to give you an update on the status of our missionaries and advise you concerning additional precautions we are taking. In light of recent events, and after consultation with the Church Security Department and general authorities at Headquarters, the Area Presidency has directed that missionaries in Ukraine remain indoors for a time until the present situation becomes more settled. We have no reason to believe that any missionaries are in any immediate risk of harm, and this step is being
taken out of an abundance of caution.
I have contacted our mission leaders within the last hour, and they in turn have contacted each of the missionaries. All of our missionaries are well. Again, there is no cause for alarm, but conditions merit an extra measure of caution. I will continue to keep you advised. We are grateful for the expertise of the Church Security Department, which has a wealth of experience in preserving the health and safety of missionaries world-wide in a variety of circumstances over many years.
President, Ukraine Donetsk Mission
