Georgian Book of Mormon

One really hard thing about being a missionary in Georgia is that the Book of Mormon is not translated into Georgian. They use the Russian BOM that many of the people can read - but there are many who can't or would better understand in Georgian. So we were thrilled when Dion came to visit us to put together a translation team! We enjoyed the 2 weeks he stayed here and loved talking with him about all his experiences. Here they are working on the translation and learning how to do it. It will still take several years before it is finished - but it is great to be getting started!

  1. Is he from Utah? Will the translation be done in Georgia or Utah? Who will do it? What is his job?
    How wonderful!

  2. This is so exciting to me! My family hosted an exchange student from Georgia and she became my sister while she was here! I fell in love with the Georgian language! I can't wait to have a Book of Mormon to read in Georgian!!!
