The church is pretty new where I live (Republic of Georgia) and the Book of Mormon just got translated into Georgian which I think is really awesome but at the same time I don't really feel the desire to be much of a member missionary or really even attend much myself now because I feel I can't really say what I truly believe. So as of now I just study on my own and attend the occasion activity.
We had a Georgian missionary over here in Scotland some years ago. I was going to say not-the-Deep-South-Georgia although I suppose it is the Deep South of the former US(SR).

It sucks being an outcast by your own people who profess to love you.

Hang in there. ❗️

...
Will do! Thank you Valo! 🙏🏼

Haha yeah technically would be the Deep South of the from USSR. I don't know too many of the members but he might be in one of the branches here. I'll keep my ears out for a former missionary that served in Scotland 😃

The people seem to be quite receptive here recently. Quite a bit of growth. Which I guess is good that people come to the knowledge of the Book of Mormon at least.

Sister ?Mikaberidze (something like that). I can still picture her.

The Georgians were one of the earliest nations to convert to Christianity, along with the Armenians, yet few people in the west seem to know that.

They have maintained their faith despite Islam, the Mongols and Communism. Any LDS missionaries in the country are going to have to respect that legacy... but probably won't.

If that option had been there, that's what I would have ticked.

The Davidic Servant may soon stand for the first time.

The next 5 years will be interesting.❗️
