Jamestown (CSi)  Two Missionaries in Jamestown from  The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Jamestown, were guests on Wednesday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2.

Missionaries Ethan Anderson and  Graydon Guzzle, talked about where they are from, the role of missionaries, and more about the Church.

Ethan said he’s originally from Maui, and this weather is the coldest, temperature and wind chill he’s experienced.   Graydon said he’s from Salt Lake City, Utah, where they get snow but usually not this much like Jamestown has this winter.

Both have been involved in the church for two years and are in their late teens.

The two Mormon Elders explained more about the church and its teachings, including being a Christian faith, and said the Book of Mormon teaches in detail about the life of Christ, and clarifies His role, and His Second Coming, in addition to the Holy Bible’s scriptures.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints holds a Sunday morning service at 10-a.m., and has a youth ministry program.

Jamestown  (NDANG) The North Dakota National Guard will conduct flood response training on Thursday, February 13 at the Jamestown Civic Center.

About 50 Soldiers and Airmen from the North Dakota National Guard will exercise command and control during the hypothetical flood response.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren is pulling TV advertising from South Carolina just over two weeks out from the state’s primary. That’s according to information tweeted Wednesday by Ad Analytics, a firm that tracks political advertising spending.

The Warren campaign says the decision was made Tuesday to shift the money to radio and print buys in South Carolina, as well as TV air space in Nevada and Maine, the latter of which votes on Super Tuesday.

 

LONDON (AP) — Organizers of the world’s biggest mobile technology fair are pulling the plug over worries about the viral outbreak from China. The annual Mobile World Congress show will no longer be held as planned in Barcelona, Spain, on Feb. 24-27. Wednesday’s decision comes after dozens of tech companies and wireless carriers dropped out, with the latest cancelations by Nokia, Vodafone, Deutsche Telekom and Britain’s BT on Wednesday. These days, most big companies hold their own product launch events anyway. But tech analyst Tim Bajarin says the show lets many people in the mobile industry to meet in one place, and for that reason it’s a significant loss.

Health workers attempting to stop Ebola have come under repeated attacks from numerous armed groups. More than 2,200 people have been killed by the virus. WHO said it hoped the Ebola outbreak would be over by the time its expert group meets again, likely within three months.

 

BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraqi officials say the U.S. has granted Iraq a 45-day Iran sanctions waiver enabling it to continue importing vital Iranian gas and electricity supplies. The U.S. had expressed willingness to extend the waiver, which was due to expire this week, officials told The Associated Press, on the condition that Iraq provide a timeline detailing a plan to wean itself off of Iranian gas dependence. Officials said the U.S. issued the waiver anyway and offered the possibility of a longer time period if Iraq produces the document. The issuance of the waiver comes amid fraught U.S.-Iraq ties following an American drone strike that killed a top Iranian general near Baghdad on Jan. 3.
