A rumor has been circulating that select members are being called on missions to China. The rumor claims that someone in a relative's ward, or in a friend's ward, received a letter extending a mission call but the field of service was left blank.
According to the rumor, the individual was instructed to call a phone number and then was "patched through to President Gordon B. Hinckley," who then asked if the prospective missionary would be willing to serve a three-year mission to mainland China, the first year consisting only of humanitarian service.
The Church News had been advised that this rumor has no foundation. No such mission calls have been extended.
