The following statement has been provided by Church spokesman Daniel Woodruff:
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has announced it will close its missionary training center located in Guatemala City, Guatemala, effective January 2020. Plans for future use of the facilities will be determined in coordination with local leaders. This decision comes as part of a long process of learning, planning and determining the best use of resources worldwide according to the needs and demands of each area. Specifically, this move will allow for the better use of the Mexico MTC which is well equipped to accommodate large groups of missionaries who are being trained in the Spanish language.
