SALT LAKE CITY — This documentary will trace the growth of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from Elder Melvin J. Ballard's 1925 prophecy in Buenos Aires to its present-day impact. Through historical content and interviews with current members, viewers will see how the church has grown to be a major force in South America with over 4.3 million members and more than 100 missions. This documentary will celebrate the church's enduring legacy and will highlight key milestones, such as the establishment of congregations, temple dedications, humanitarian efforts, and the translation of the Book of Mormon into local languages. As part of this 100-year celebration the Tabernacle Choir on Temple Square will perform several concerts in Buenos Aires. We will share the impact of their visit.
