Missionaries serving in Venezuela also will be reassigned to missions in the United States and Canada where needed, Bills said.
U.S. relations with Venezuela have been rocky lately, with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez claiming his government is preparing for a possible U.S. invasion. The U.S. government denies it plans to invade.
