permanent health changes for RMs church's liability?

[_moksha]

So what is the policy on helping with health care for missionaries?

[_solomarineris]

Maybe that's what Jesus had in mind in Mark 9:44, 46, 48 when He said, "Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched."

I think that's a Tequila (con gusano) worm.......

In my mission, almost every missionary has at least one picture of a worm he or she passed, usually next to a ruler or a pencil. Ewwww.

It was missions like yours that I feared as a teen. And so I was positive God would send me there, just to teach me humility. But it turns out God doesn't actually send anyone anywhere, and the LDS church apparently was in need of German speakers, so I got to go to Switzerland instead. Sorry, didn't get any stomach worms there. Just didn't baptize anyone either. I guess they all had their tradeoffs. About the worst food I ever had to eat was cold corn with some kind of vinegar sauce. The Europeans got corn from the Americas, but they didn't get the memo that came with it explaining how it ought to be eaten. Cold freaking corn with vinegar sauce. Ick.

Don't complain just because god sent you to sterile Switzerland. It is not funny at all coming back from one of those godforsaken lands with a debilitating parasite or a bug as excess baggage. I heard some serious horror stories from S. america, Brazil mostly.
Don't feel bad you couldn't baptize anyone in CH; that is because they (Europeans) are like George Carlin's cousins, lacking his humor only, they carry BS detectors as sidearms there.

I voted yes, because if the church willingly sends these people into places where they know they can be infected with such diseases, they should be responsible for the care of these individuals. Plain and simple.

It's like the U.S. refusing to take care of injured war vets.
