So I was reading some further information as from personal observation it appears that the church is calling numerous missionaries to Brazil and then not sending them there, but reassigning them to stateside missions, etc. I know of at least 3 missionaries personally that this has happened to, and several others that have been called to Brazil and finally recieved visa's after a waiting period.
So a couple of questions:
1. What is the deal with Brazil all of a sudden? Are the thinking of moving church headquarters there or something. Seriously?!?!
2.As I was reading I came across this site:
http://www.lds.org/locations/missionary-training-centers/brazil/your-stay?lang=engIf you read it all you will find this little gem: During your stay at the MTC, your passport will be kept by the Travel Department for visa issues and will not be able to be retrieved until the day you go to the mission field. If during your MTC stay you need a doctor’s appointment or immunizations or you need to use your personal debit or credit card, a photo ID other than your passport will be needed.
Is that even legal?
