Utah couple to help LDS Church with legal issues in Africa

You don't have to explain to Jeff and Marge Clayton why members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints sometimes are afraid to serve in South Africa, where the couple has been asked to go for at least three years.

With safety issues such as the need to keep away from open water and from touching items on the street, Marge admits to feeling like she wanted to stay away from the area herself.

"I said 'I'll go anywhere with you but Africa,' " Marge told her husband when first invited with him to a meeting at church headquarters where they would be asked to go. "In hindsight, I wish I'd said 'I'll go anywhere but London.' "
