Two posters on cougarboard have said that this is to happen shortly.

Yeah, when there is a "not" in the sentence, you could probably conclude I wasn't predicting missionaries in China.

Well, President Hinckley did say that we had 344 missions but would soon have 347...now I don't know if that means new missions in new areas or just split missions, but I thought it was an interesting remark.

I was under the impression that one of those new missions was going to be one in which only BYU athletes would be called to serve, in an undisclosed location, where it's more like a service mission and an athletic academy than an actual proselytizing mission.

Not very likely right now, IMO. China has a pretty serious sticking point with the Catholics right now about the government's role in overseeing/controlling the church. This has led to an "official" catholic church under the watchful eye of the Chinese government and an underground Catholic church that is loyal only to the Vatican. I can't see how we wouldn't have the same issues, so I'm sure we'll stay out until it's no longer an issue.
