Three Mormon missionaries serving in the Paris mission were “seriously injured” in Tuesday’s terror attack at the Brussels airport.
According to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the three had been accompanying a fourth missionary who was on her way to a mission assignment in Ohio. Sister Fanny Rachel Clain, a 20-year-old from Montelimar, France, had already passed through airport security and was not injured.
The other three — Elder Richard Jorby, 66, of Lehi; Elder Joseph Empey, 20, of Santa Clara; and Elder Mason Wells, 19, of Sandy — were near the explosion and have since been hospitalized.
“Our prayers are with the families of the deceased and injured, including three of our missionaries who were injured and hospitalized. We also pray for the people of Belgium and France as they continue to deal with the uncertainty and devastation caused by the recent terrorist attacks,” the church said in a statement.
All missionaries in the Paris mission have been asked to remain in their apartments.
