Missionaries at Provo MTC no longer need COVID-19 vaccination, testing; masks now optional

[Alexander]

“You will now determine for yourself whether to use a facemask in all settings at the Provo MTC ... We encourage all to extend love and respect to others and their decisions.”



“Please remember that these changes apply to MTC training only,” the letter said. “You may still be required to wear masks, be tested, and/or be vaccinated depending on travel requirements or requirements for your assigned mission.”

The guidelines were updated as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention relaxed mask guidelines for the majority of the country.

A lot of them will continue to do it

[Gadianton Slayer]

A big slap in the face to all of those missionaries who got the shot in order to go to the MTC even though they didn’t want to.

[Gadianton Slayer]

A lot of them will continue to do it

The ones who don’t get sent home…

I've heard part of your story. Do you think you would have stayed on if it weren't for the Covidiocy.

Hurrah for Israel!

[Lineman1012]

That’s the required action as a result of those wise and thoughtful government leaders that our PSRs are listening to.

Maybe for a little, but I started to get into the culture garbage and doctrinal side of things.

Translated: We are reducing requirements to get tithing revenue back up, but Klaus Schwab is still the boss, and you better do what he and Fauci say.

In one sense, they are right. Many countries won't even let these people across the border without stab papers. It's not even in their hands.

[mes5464]

Do whatever the Dems tell you to do.

If they understood the scriptures, and were good intentioned, then it’s absolutely in their hands. But you won’t see them fight against those who serve their same master.

[Gadianton Slayer]

Whatever happened to “let god prevail”??

[blitzinstripes]

“You will now determine for yourself"

How benevolent of them to restore the agency of man.

I still want to thank you for your service you did, because it continues. Your testimony of Christ continues and I hear you. My bets are that you will continue to be a mighty disciple of Christ. ( Although, just for the record...I would have responded the same as you.)

Not really. Border control is nothing to do with them. They can protest as much as any other person trying to enter a country but it is to do with the governments which run it. I don't think LDS missionaries would be enough to shift, say Australia. Tourists will be a bigger factor in the years to come.

But their response and what they decide to do is completely in their hands. Rather than bend over for unjust law, they should oppose. Vocally at the very least.

God is mightier than the border patrol. Too bad those men don’t serve God.

Thank you. Those of us who have awakened are on a different mission now.

Maybe. They can offer prayers. They can't really offer legal challenges, unless a missionary is detained in a country rather than not allowed into it in the first place. The rsst is between individual missionaries and the governments of wherever.

Or they can stand for freedom and stop sending their missionaries to countries that have those mandates.

"The science has changed ^_^"

[tribrac]

Meaningless move at this point.

Glad it happened.

[Reluctant Watchman]

Hurrah for Israel!

Hurrah.... for what? This does nothing to bring to light the crap they've been doing all along. The jab is still "safe and effective".

It's like the past two years never happened...?

[OPMissionary]

The quiet walking back and @#$ covering continues. It's obvious they already regret the letter.

Edit: I did not type donkey

A step in the right direction. Let those that mask, mask, let those that don't want to mask, don't mask. Let those that choose to get vaccinated, get vaccinated, let those that choose not to get vaccinated, not to get vaccinated (except if the local mission where they will be assigned requires the vax, in that case, reassign the missionary to a freer country or stateside.

Mexico's area is still adamant about the masking policy in church. People have got to learn how to relax.
