Latter-day Saint President Russell Nelson is jetting off again — this time to South America

Since becoming president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints some 19 months ago, Russell M. Nelson has journeyed to every continent save for Antarctica.

On Saturday, the 94-year-old leader embarks on yet another tour, this time a return trip to Latin America.

With wife Wendy, the travelin’ man will hit five countries — Guatemala, Colombia, Ecuador, Argentina and Brazil — in nine days. Together, those nations are home to 2.6 million Latter-day Saints, according to a church news release.
