(Early Spring) Word has been circulating and Ryan has found out that a lot of the missionaries being called to Mongolia are being reassigned. There wasn't a lot of clarity or understanding on our part as to exactly why, but this is what we do know. Yes, missionaries are being reassigned. Due to entry restrictions in conjunction with obtaining visas, Mongolia is putting into place certain restrictions in order to receive entry visas. It is not unusual. The U.S. has had strict entry requirements for a long time, too. Most countries do. So, the changes are not directed strictly to missionaries or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, but due to general visa restrictions put in place by the country. We do understand that negotiations are in the works with the church and Mongolia to work things through.
So.... we aren't sure what will take place, but will move forward and figure that "no news is good news". Most importantly we know that where ever Ryan ends up—that is where the Lord needs him.
