Kuwait

Last week I went to Kuwait to record and edit a story for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Newsroom. It was very, very hot there, but the trip was definitely a neat place!

A few months ago The Church of Jesus Christ was recognized as an official religion in Kuwait. It was the first time in almost forty years that a religion had been given recognition. Quentin L. Cook, a senior leader in the the Church, and his wife Mary, made a trip to Kuwait to meet with and thank government and religious leaders in Kuwait.

Here is the story I was able to help create for newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org and a few images, most of which were taken with my drone.

Kuwait has many mosques. We were able to tour the Grand Mosque in downtown Kuwait City. It was very ornate inside and quite beautiful.

Kuwait is not a large country. In a little over an hour you can drive from one end to the other. This ridge in this photo is near the Iraq boarder. It has the highest elevation in Kuwait. (Images and video courtesy newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org)
