Elder Nelson dedicates branch meetinghouse in Russia
Elder Russell M. Nelson of the Quorum of the Twelve dedicated the Voronezh Branch meetinghouse on Oct. 20, a little over 17 years after the first members of the church from the city in southern Russia were baptized.
Elder Nelson dedicated the building, originally constructed in the 1950s as a theater of classic design and recently renovated to serve as an LDS meetinghouse, to be "a sanctuary of safety and a haven of peace where the everlasting truths of the gospel will be taught" and as "a gathering place for Thy sons and daughters to rejoice together and strengthen families."
