    THE CHURCH OF JESUS GHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS OFFICE OF THE FIRST PRESIDENCY 47 EAST SouTH TEMPLE STREET, SALT LAKE CrTY, UTAH 84150-1200 November 16, 2018 To: General Authorities; General Auxiliary Presidencies; and the following leaders in the United States andCanada: Area Seventies;Stake, Mission, andDistrict Presidents;Bishops and BranchPresidents Dear Brothers and Sisters: Service Missions for Young Missionaries (U.S. and Canada Only) The Lord declared, "If ye have desires to serve God ye are called to the work" (Doctrine and Covenants 4:3). To serve the Lord as a missionary is a glorious, sacred privilege that brings eternalblessings to the individual andthose he or she serves. For many years, young men and women with a desire to serve God through missionary service but who are unable to do so for health reasons have served the Lord valiantly in various community and Church organizations. We are grateful for their service and are pleased to announce increased opportunities for young missionaries who havehealth challenges. Beginning on January 2, 2019, all young missionary candidates will use the missionary online recommendation process. Under the direction of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, each prospective missionary who qualifies will receive a call that best suits him or her. Preaching the gospel to gather scattered Israel will always be the primary purpose of missionary service, so the Lord, throughHis leaders, will call most young people to find, teach, andbaptize converts. Others, unable to serve in this manner,may be called to serve the Lord as a service missionary.

  • Georgia: Background and U.S. Policy
    Georgia: Background and U.S. Policy Updated June 10, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R45307 SUMMARY R45307 Georgia: Background and U.S. Policy June 10, 2021 Georgia is one of the United States’ closest partners among the post-Soviet states that gained their independence after the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. With a Cory Welt history of strong economic aid and security cooperation, the United States has deepened Specialist in Russian and its strategic partnership with Georgia since Russia’s 2008 invasion of Georgia and 2014 European Affairs invasion of Ukraine. U.S. policy expressly supports Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders, and Georgia is a leading recipient of U.S. aid in Europe and Eurasia. Many observers consider Georgia to have a “hybrid” political system, containing both democratic and nondemocratic elements. The center-left Georgian Dream-Democratic Georgia (GD) party has governed Georgia since 2012. Controversy over the October 2020 parliamentary elections, an opposition boycott of parliament, and the February 2021 arrest of opposition leader Nika Melia led to heightened political tensions. European Union (EU) efforts to mediate Georgia’s political crisis led to a negotiated agreement in April 2021 that included opposition parties’ entry into parliament and Melia’s release. Although Georgia faces high rates of poverty and underemployment, its economy entered a period of relatively strong growth in 2017. In 2020, due to the impact of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, Georgia’s gross domestic product (GDP) declined by an estimated 6%. Georgia’s GDP is expected to grow 3.5% to 4% in 2021.

  • Historic New Mexico Spanish Missions
    H Historic New Mexico Spanish Missions Painting by Roy Anderson Courtesy of Pecos Nationa! Historical Park Spanish Missions Of New Mexico ln The Seventeenth And Eighteenth Centuries Within three decades of Juan de OnateS founding of New Mexico in 'l 598, Spanish missions stretched from Taos in the north to lsleta in the south and from Zuni in the west to Pecos and Las Salinas in the east. By the late 1640s, the missions of New Mexico would be in full bloom extending southward to Socorro and El Paso. The history of the Spanish missions of New Mexico had begun neady sixty years before Onateb settlement. ln 1540, an expedition led by Francisco Vezquez de Coronado entered New Mexico from the southwest by way of Sonora and present Arizona. Despite hostilities at Zuni and Tiguex, Coronado's friars surmised that the Pueblo lndran villages along the Rio Grande could be converted to Catholicism once Spanish sovereignty was established. ln 1542 the expedition returned to Mexico City where Coronado and his men reported to officials on the people, flora and fauna in the far north. ln 'l 598, the Spanish returned to settle, this time with Juan de Oflate, who had a royal contract to govern the Province of New Mexico. Fray Alonso Martfnez and nine Franciscans also made the arduous trip northward to the pueblo world. Governor Oflate assigned these missionaries to several pueblos and Pecos Pueblo became one of the first missions. The first Pecos priest, Fray Francisco de San Miguel, was an elderly man, and like many Franciscans he was accustomed to the rigors of frontier life.
