Reassigned

Dear Parents,

Later this morning, the Church will release the following statement regarding developments in Nicaragua that are affecting the number of missionaries that will serve in that country:

Due to growing political instability in Nicaragua, the Church is in the process of transferring 169 missionaries out of that country. This includes 37 missionaries from the Nicaragua Managua North Mission, all of whom were nearing the end of their service and will return home. In the Nicaragua Managua South Mission, 20 missionaries will return home while 112 missionaries will be temporarily reassigned to other missions in North America, South America, and the Caribbean. All 158 missionaries remaining in Nicaragua are being moved to areas that are safe.

The Church will continue to closely monitor conditions and developments in Nicaragua. We pray for the people there as they navigate this difficult time in their country.

Your son or daughter is one of those who will be transferred from Nicaragua to a temporary assignment in another mission. He or she will call you soon after they arrive in their new mission and give you further details. It is undetermined when your missionary will be able to return to Nicaragua.

The new mission president is ready to welcome your missionary and help them adjust to this change. We know the Lord will bless your son or daughter as they continue their service teaching the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.

Sincerely,

President and Hermana Brown
