The report said that for a village in Guam, the denomination delivered over 14 water tanks. It added that this is important for the community as it does not have any access to city water and primarily relies on rainwater. As such, they can only request water delivery from a water company in times of droughts.
Additionally, the 14 water tanks were placed strategically to ensure that it would be efficiently utilized by the community.
As for French Polynesia, the church partnered with the Polynesian Federation of Civil Protection to help when it comes to emergency response support. The church provided specialized rescue equipment as well as additional water rescue training.
There were also members of the local Latter-day Saints who received training from the organization.
There's also the work of the Latter-Day Saints in Jinja City, Uganda. The denomination provided funding and equipment for a new maternity ward, the Bugembe Health Centre. Donating over $100,000 in equipment, the church provided multiple maternity beds, a nebulizer, and an incubator to the center.
The Latter Day Saints also extended a hand to the Western Cape Department of Health to provide new audiology equipment to the Rural Health Services. The denomination donated over $100,000 in hearing aids and portable repair toolboxes for the area.

The church believes that in 1829, God the Father and Jesus Christ appeared before Joseph Smith who directed him to establish the church.

This would become the Book of Mormon, a book that that denomination follows alongside the Bible.
Currently, the denomination is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah.
