The church could hardly have functioned there without anyone eligible for priesthood. Despite June's revelation, Kimball says careful consideration will be necessary before he dispatches the first mission teams in history to the area. But ultimately, Kimball has a broad vision: "The Saviour said, go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature, and that's what we have been working toward."
