Hello again, everyone! The Newsroom on the Church's website recently shared a full report on President Nelson's visit to Paraguay. One interesting thing that stuck out to me about this report is that, as President Nelson continued to offer remarks in Spanish, Elder Stevenson commented on how weird it was for him to have to wear headphones to hear the English translation of the prophet's remarks.
But Elder Stevenson also mentioned how amazing it was to see the Saints in these congregations responding to President Nelson speaking in their native tongue. President Nelson is truly a prophet to the people. It is not surprising in any way to me that his message has been the same everywhere he has visited this year. He is continually encouraging people to prioritize their families, frequent study of the Book of Mormon, and striving for temple worthiness.
That said, I had thought (when Asuncion was announced as a stop on his tour) that he would potentially meet with governmental leaders to see what could be done to get the renovation process started for the temple in that city. But given that the process started several days prior to his departure on this tour, it appears that such a visit was not necessary.
I will continue to provide coverage of this first leg of President Nelson's South American Tour as that becomes available. I likewise continue to monitor any other Church news and temple developments and will do my level best to pass word of those along to you all as I receive it.
That does it for this post. Any and all comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated, on any post of any time. Thank you for the privilege of your time.

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.
