SALT LAKE CITY -- The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints says all missionaries in Honduras are safe and staying in their apartments as Church leaders monitor the country's political situation. Local members are supplying the missionaries with food and water.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says the United States believes the unrest in Honduras "has evolved into a coup" and that officials believe the situation needs close watching.

Clinton says a delegation from the Organization of American States will be heading to Honduras as early as Tuesday "to begin working with the parties" on the restoration of constitutional government there.

U.S. diplomats have been working to ensure the safety of deposed Honduran President Manuel Zelaya and his family as they press for restoration of constitutional law and his presidency.
