Two full-time missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints serving in the Canada Vancouver Mission were involved in a serious car accident on Friday, September 13. During the accident in Kamloops, British Columbia, the missionaries’ vehicle collided with a truck.

Elder Bryant Keck, 19, from Sanford, Colorado, and Elder Dallin Thompson, 19, from Sahuarita, Arizona, are both in critical condition with injuries that may be life-threatening, according to Church Spokesman Daniel Woodruff

“The condition of the occupants of the truck is unknown, and we pray for their well-being,” said Woodruff. “We also pray for both missionaries and their families, and we ask for the faith and prayers of others on their behalf as they navigate the difficult days ahead.”
