The tireless, hardworking leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints begins another international trip this weekend.
President Russell M. Nelson will visit the faith’s members in five Latin American countries.
The first three days go like this: A devotional Saturday night in Guatemala City, Guatemala, after flights totaling 2,956 miles. A devotional Sunday night in Bogota, Colombia, after a 1,135-mile flight. Another devotional on Monday night in Quito, Ecuador after a flight of 384 miles.
Three days. Three flights. Some 4,475 miles. Three devotionals with large numbers of Latter-day Saints. And, if the pattern holds, in some places he will meet with national leaders or other dignitaries. And that’s just the beginning.
