New Mission President Announced

Mission Presidents and their wives typically serve for three years.  Joyce and I began our calling on July 1, 2007 and we'll hand over the baton on July 1, 2010.  The following was published in the February 27 "Church News" in the section about New Mission Presidents.


William Arthur Schaefermeyer, 66, and Sharon Lynn Bodily Schaefermeyer, six children, Pennsylvania Philadelphia Mission; Hunter 15th Ward, Salt Lake Hunter East Stake. Brother Schaefermeyer is a former stake president, bishop and counselor, high councilor, ward Young Men president and counselor and missionary in the Northeast British Mission. Retired director of studios for the Church. Born in San Diego, Calif., to Arthur Eugene and Mary Vera Aycock Schaefermeyer.

Sister Schaefermeyer is a former stake Primary president and counselor, ward Relief Society president, counselor in a ward Young Women presidency and gospel doctrine teacher. Born in Vernal, Utah, to Reed Fisher and Olen Orabus Hunting Bodily.

The Schaefermeyers are looking forward to meeting and visiting with parents of current or future PPM missionaries right now!  If you have a son or daughter who will be serving in PPM with the Schaefermeyers, you are welcomed to contact them at 801-969-8016.

  1. President Murry! President Schaefermeyer was MY stake president...the one that sent ME as a missionary out to the blessed PPM. Philadelphia is a lucky area (once again!) to get another inspired mission president. I assure you and your missionaries that the mission will be in good hands! ~Becky VanSleeuwen

  2. I agree with President Murray. Sister Schaefermeyer and I would like to hear from as many parents of missionaries currently serving in the PPM and any that have calls that have not yet left.

  3. Hello to both President & Sister Murray and President & Sister Schaefermeyer!

    We are so looking forward to our son Andrew serving in the PPM. We are still awaiting the visa to arrive, which we hear can be delayed but hoping/praying it will arrive before his May 5th reporting date to the MTC.

    Our family is very excited for Andrew and all the experiences he will be having.

    Warm regards,
    Michele Christmas
