Ebola; RM's, would the old you want to evacuate

http://www.ksl.com/?sid=30993084&nid=148&title=lds-missionary-offers-perspective-on-ebola-crisis&fm=home_page&s_cid=topstory

if the old true believing me were a missionary in West Africa, I'm pretty sure I would have presumed that God would protect me, and that I would have tried to stay.

I would have wanted to evacuate. I never believed God would protect me from my own frivolous stupidity.

Oh yeah. I forgot that 2nd part. I also believed that if I died in missionary service, I'd get a free ride to the Celestial Kingdom.

Re: Ebola; RM's, would the old you want to evacuate

It's a pretty painful way to die.

I Wouldn't want to risk it just to teach people that they should have faith in something I had no way of knowing if it were true.

At some point most people's arrogance is overpowered by their sense of survival.

According to this, two missionaries have died.

I already attended one Killed-on-his-mission funeral.
I hate seeing the irresponsible TSCC putting all these faithful trusting people in danger.

Re: According to this, two missionaries have died.

Thank you for that link.
I don't know how I missed it---well I guess I do, I don't read the deseret news.

Re: Ebola; RM's, would the old you want to evacuate

I would definitely evacuate. I got an amoeba on my mission eating ice from unboiled water. It was horrible and I was not allowed to go home. This Ebola mess is evacuation time.
