If he was getting paid he probably would be. Since Mission President is a voluntary job, looks like you got mud in your eye again.
Are we supposed to believe that the East Valley Physical Therapy and Aquatic Rehabilitation in Mesa, Arizona stops paying Packard while he is in Afica? Are we supposed to believe that the living expenses of the Mission President are not paid by the mormon church? You mormons will stretch yourselves to the limit to keep that "unpaid clergy" thing going.
The mud is in the eye of the mormon not being wise enough to leave his Rolex at home....so much for "discernment"!
