AP Salt Lake City— The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, commonly known as “The Mormon Church”, announced today that it was sending four Mormon Apostles to West Africa “on a mission of divine healing” to those Ebola stricken countries. Church spokesman, Richard Lindsay, said, “These apostles were sent to lay hands on those afflicted in order to heal them, just like the apostles in New Testament times.” Lindsay was asked if he feared that the apostles would get Ebola from coming into close contact with those infected. Lindsay replied, “Not at all, because these men are the Lord’s anointed, and they will be divinely protected!” The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has approximately 2500 members in Sierra Leone and about 5,000 members in Liberia. The LDS Church is one of the fastest growing religions in West Africa, according to Mr. Lindsay.

It really DOES sound like something that would be claimed by SLC!
Did Monson 'hear from the Lord' about this?
If I were a Mormon; I'd want to be reassured by the Living Prophet® hisself (the ONLY man on earth that can hear His voice) before I went to Africa to TOUCH Ebola patients.
