Update from the News today

The LDS Church continues to monitor the unrest in Ukraine. The church's first priority is the safety of its missionaries in the area.

The Church of Jesus of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints released an update April 11 at 8 a.m. regarding missionaries serving in Ukraine.

"Due to continued unrest in the region, the church has chosen to transfer the 85 missionaries from the Ukraine Donetsk Mission to serve in other areas within Ukraine. The well-being of missionaries is always our first priority, and every effort is being made to keep them safe," Mormon Newsroom reported.

Donetsk is one of three eastern cities where Pro-Russian protesters are occupying administrative buildings, according to CNN.com.

Previous updates about missionaries in the area and additional information about the church in Ukraine can be found on the Mormon Newsroom website.

We received a letter from David's mission president and he has been relocated, as of Wednesday, to serve in the Kyiv mission. Where one door closes another door opens! Please continue in your faithful prayers for Elder David Witt, all the missionaries and the people in Ukraine. 

Proverbs 3:5-6  "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."  

Follow the promptings you have every day, we never know when we will make a difference.
