The Lima Peru Temple (LDS Media Library)
A second temple has now been announced for the city, in the (northern) Los Olivos District.

I offer a few links for those of you who might want to try to keep up with President Russell M. Nelson’s latest travels to meet with the Latter-day Saints worldwide. It obviously shouldn’t be very difficult. After all, he’s ninety-four years old. How hard can it be?

Anyhow, there’s some good information here, accompanied by short videos:

“President Nelson Launches South America Ministry Tour in Peru: Peruvian Latter-day Saints greet global Church leaders in Lima”

“Latter-day Saint Prophet Stops in Bolivia on South America Tour: President Russell M. Nelson delivers message of Jesus Christ to thousands”

“President Nelson and Elder Stevenson Visit Latter-day Saints in Paraguay: Senior Church leaders mark halfway point in South America ministry tour”

The recent string of significant disasters and crises has, of course, used up a notable portion of the Church’s resources, which always need to be replenished in preparation for the next challenge.

As we near the close of the year, when — under the tax laws of the United States, anyway — many people consider year-end donations to charity, I hope that you’ll think about the possibility of a donation to LDS Charities.

“Love is one of the chief characteristics of Deity, and ought to be manifested by those who aspire to be the sons of God. A man filled with the love of God, is not content with blessing his family alone, but ranges through the whole world, anxious to bless the whole human race.” (Joseph Smith, Jr.)

From Dr. Jeffrey Mark Bradshaw, one of the vice presidents of the Interpreter Foundation:

“The Church in the DR Congo: A Personal Perspective: Part 1, Prologue: What Brought Us to Africa?”
