PROVO, Utah (AP) - Mormon church officials say three residents of a missionary training center in Provo have been quarantined after being diagnosed with swine flu. Missionary Department Executive Director Richard G. Hinckley says all three are expected to make full recoveries. About 2,000 young men and women currently reside at the center. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has 52,494 missionaries worldwide.Hinckley says some missionary departures are being delayed one week to ensure those traveling are healthy and new missionaries are being asked to delay reporting to the center if they show any sign of illness. Parents and family are not being allowed inside center buildings to limit the chance of exposure to illnesses from outside sources.
