Missionaries Pulled Out of Iraq

Up until last week there was a humanitarian missionary couple in the city of Erbil which is in the Kurdistan region of Iraq.  Because Isis was getting a little too close (15 miles away), the Middle East Desk decided to pull them out.

Elder and Sister Anderson spent three days with us in Amman and then left for Cairo, Egypt to check out some possibilities for humanitarian work there.  They are awesome.

It's comforting to know that the Church will never put missionaries in harms way.  Now all we have to worry about is the one LDS family left behind in Erbil.  We pray for their safety.
