The Church in Bolivia

Missionaries preaching in the Andes Mission arrived in Bolivia in November 1964 and baptized the first convert that December. The first Bolivian to serve a mission for the Church was Desiderio Arce Cano in 1967. He left a singing career in Argentina to serve in his native land. He later became a stake president and a mission president. Membership in Bolivia has more than doubled in the past 10 years.

Here are a few facts about the Church today in Bolivia:

Membership	153,674
Missions	3
Temples	1
