Hello again, everyone! The Newsroom on the Church's website has announced that Church President Russell M. Nelson and his wife, Sister Wendy W. Nelson will continue their global ministry tour by traveling through several locations in South America later this month. Accompanied by Elder Gary E. Stevenson and his wife, Lesa, they will visit five countries in nine days.
This will give them opportunities to meet with missionaries, Church members, and governmental leaders. The tour, set to run from October 19-28, will include stops in the cities of Lima Peru on Sunday October 21, La Paz Bolivia the following day, and Asuncion Paraguay the day after that.
After a three-day hiatus, they will then go to Montevideo Uruguay on Thursday October 25, and will end the tour in Concepcion Chile on Saturday and Sunday October 27 & 28, which will coincide with the dedication of the temple that same weekend.
Thus we see that President Nelson continues to stop at home just long enough to rest, take care of important Church business, pick up a new apostolic companion
The Newsroom also promised to carry ongoing coverage of this leg of the Nelsons' Global Ministry Tour as it occurs, and I will do the same. In the meantime, the Newsroom website provided a look at previous visits which President Nelson and Elder Stevenson have individually made to the same locations, and which Church Presidents have visited these same cities and when.
This will be a development to keep an eye on for sure. Could the time spent in Lima Peru involve breaking ground for the Lima Peru Los Olivos Temple? Possibly, but that seems unlikely. Could the time in Asuncion Paraguay involve seeing what (if anything) can be done to expedite the process of getting the renovation process finally started on that temple? That's a definite maybe as well. More will be reported in the coming days on this trip, and it will be interesting to see what happens during this leg of that tour.
That does it for this post. Any and all comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated, on any post at any time. Thank you for the privilege of your time.

BREAKING NEWS: President & Sister Nelson Plan to Continue Global Ministry Tour in South America
I have had a lifelong love for Church history, which has extended to ongoing reports of the ministry of our apostles and prophets, General Conference, and all temple developments. This blog enables me to share that love with all who read my thoughts on these developments, which are sometimes reported multiple times per day as needed.

In addition to my life-long love for the subjects which I cover in the posts of this blog, I have long held the belief that we can disagree without becoming disagreeable. Differences of opinion are natural, while being disagreeable in expressing those differences is not. And in that sense, I have no desire to close the door on anyone who earnestly desires to contribute to the ongoing dialogue on subjects covered in the posts on this blog.
At the same time, however, I recognize that we live in a time when incivility, discourtesy, unkindness, and even cyber-bullying has regrettably become part of online interactions. With that in mind, while anyone who wishes can comment on anything if they choose to do so, I hereby reserve the right to immediately delete any comments which are critical, unkind, lack civility, or promote prodcuts, services, and values contrary to either the Church, or to the rules of online etiquette.
I'd also like to remind all who comment here that I try to respond personally to each individual comment as I feel is appropriate. Such replies are not meant to end the conversation, but to acknowledge earnest feedback as it is submitted.
And in order to better preserve the spirit and pure intentions for which this blog was established, I also hereby request that anyone not commenting with a regular user name (particularly those whose comments appear under the "Unknown" or "Anonymous" monikers, give the rest of us a name to work with in addressing any replies. If such individuals do not wish to disclose their actual given names, a pseudonym or nickname would suffice.
Any comments made by individuals who opt to not give a name by which they can ber identified may, depending on the substance and tone of such comments, be subject to deletion as well. I would respectfully ask that all of us do all we can to keep the dialogue positive, polite, and without malice or ill-will. May the Lord bless us all in our discussion of these important matters.
