Mormon Elder's reaction to recent deaths

Quote of the Day: Mormon Elder M. Russell Ballard

"The safest place in the world for 19-21-year-old young men and 21-year-old young women is in the service of the Lord in the mission field, scattered out over the four corners of the Earth."

-- Elder M. Russell Ballard, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, reacting to the recent deaths of three missionaries. One was shot Jan. 2 in Virginia and two died Friday (Jan. 6) in a New Zealand automobile accident.
