The former Kirkland Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) stake president and current Kingsgate resident Robert Condie, 54, has been selected by the church to preside over its missionary efforts in southern Germany and Austria.

An attorney with offices in Bellevue, Condie served as president of the Kirkland stake for its first 10 years. As a young man, he served a two-year church mission in the Germany Munich Mission – the same mission over which he has now been called to preside.
