Difficulties concerning visas for missionaries have led The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to remove its U.S. missionaries from Venezuela, according to church spokesman Dale Bills.

The problem involves renewing visas and obtaining new visas for missionaries serving in that country, he added.

Consequently, the church "has decided to reassign U.S. missionaries serving in Venezuela to other Spanish-speaking missions in Latin America, the U.S. and Canada where such missionaries are needed," he added in an e-mail sent to the Deseret Morning News on Sunday night.

"Parents have been advised accordingly," he added. Bills said the church will keep the matter under review.
