2 December 2015

Dear Brother and Sister Jewkes,

We write to let you know that there has been a shooting in San Bernardino today, which is just north of the California Riverside Mission.  The gunmen are on the loose and still need to be apprehended.  We have notified all of our missionaries in northern part of the mission nearest to San Bernardino.  Other areas of the mission are at least a half hour away.  We are accounting for all missionaries in the northern part of our mission and are asking those missionaries on the north side of the mission to return to their quarters.

Rest assured that the safety of our missionaries is our highest priority.  As always, we thank you for your support of your sons and daughters as they serve the Lord here, and appreciate your prayers in their behalf.

With our love and appreciation,

President John H. Mullen and Sister Jana

Dear Brother and Sister Jewkes,

With regard to the shooting in San Bernardino, the police have issued an “all clear” and lifted the “shelter in place” warning even in San Bernardino.  The police pursued the shooters into Redlands, which is also outside of the California Riverside Mission.  They shot and killed the two individuals who were definitely involved.  While they are not sure that a third person was not involved, they have detained that person as well.



All missionaries in the California Riverside Mission are safe and accounted for.

Again with our love and gratitude,
