Hundreds of missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints streamed through the doors of Salt Lake City International Airport on Sunday and were greeted by a large group of family and friends, marking an atypical detour in their religious service for the Utah-based faith.

Were they ever allowed to do their missionary work in China?

I know many families are very glad to have them safely at home. Thank You Lord.
Local LDS church was empty on Sunday March 15—can you imagine how long ago that seems? That was before schools and the local college had canceled classes. At least the observant Mormons will likely have food stored up. Don’t know about TP.
Very tolerant, are we? What has your family sacrificed for God lately?
Yeah, and I witnessed these “observant Mormons” at the local grocery stores around northern Utah binge grocery shopping, hording food! Nothing admirable about that!

I was baptized a Mormon when I was a kid and when I grew up I realized how cultish they are. I’m born again now. I’m no saint but I help my elderly neighbors. I won’t know how I’ll end up. Nobody does.

It’s not hundreds, it’s 12,000 I believe.
And no, based on the behavior at the SLC airport, there won’t be and self-isolation.
Utah will probably be the next hot-spot.
Praise the Lord!

I hope God keeps all these people safe. I disagree with them, but hope to see God’s mercy on them as well as me and on the church where I minister.
Oddly...today of all days was the first time I had heard/read about the Meadow Massacre. Still reading.
