Elder Wells and Elder Empey

Mormon Newsroom reports that Elder Mason Wells and Elder Joseph Empey have returned to the United States and will be released from missionary service.

Elder Richard Norby and Sister Fanny Clain, continue to receive medical attention in hospitals in Brussels. Elder Norby will be transported to the U.S. for additional care to serious injuries and will also be released from missionary service in the near future. Sister Clain, who was less seriously injured, is expected to resume missionary service in the United States when she is fit enough to do so.

The Mormon Newsroom article contains running updates on the progress of the missionaries and conveys the gratitude of the missionaries and their families for the concern and prayers lifted in their behalf.

Major news outlets have spent a good deal of time discussing the condition of the missionaries, their faith, and their goodness in the face of this ordeal.
