PROVO, Utah (AP) -- The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is no longer sending North American missionaries to Russia due to new visa laws.
Missionaries who were being prepared at the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah, for service in Russia have been reassigned.
North American missionaries already in Russia will remain to complete their service, which runs two years for men and 18 months for women.
Last year, Russia began to require foreigners on humanitarian visas, which includes missionaries, to leave the country every three months to renew their visas.
