https://www.mormonnewsroom.org/article/elder-uchtdorf-discusses-future-russia-templeElder Uchtdorf and his wife, Harriet, participated in a special conference of the Moscow Russia Stake on April 22, 2018. The meeting was attended by about 700 Latter-day Saints, including Church leaders in the region.
First Temple in Russia
After the conference, Elder Uchtdorf and Elder Alexey V. Samaykin, an Area Seventy, were interviewed by historian, publicist, well-known journalist and editor in chief of the academic journal Science and Religion, Sergey Georgievich Antonenko.
This announcement is a historic one and its a beautiful one, said Elder Uchtdorf about the new temple to the journalist. We have around the globe 159 temples, and the number is growing.
This will be the first temple for Latter-day Saints in Russia. Up until now if they wanted to go to the temple, they had to travel outside of Russia, he explained.
Elder Uchtdorf said, Were very grateful for Russia to be a country where religious freedom is established. We may practice our faith here.

Judiciary Committee. Four, if I remember correctly. All Repukes.
There could be something else like a financial tie with Romney also, but the church comes first, no matter what Mitt said when he ran last time.

(1,584 posts)4. Romney ran for President saying that Russia was our biggest enemy. Religion is the source of
most of the world's human problems. In the US, the evangelicals have replace Jesus Christ with Donald Trump and now the Mormons have added Donald Trump and Putting as their holy trinity with Smith.

his actions speak louder than his words when he cast his vote.
