Payments by Missionary Family Moving Internationally

This question has to do with making payments for a missionary who changes wards mid-mission.

I know this question has been answered before; however, my situation is slightly different.

I live in Brazil and have an American family living in my ward here. They have a son that left on a mission and since he left from their Brazil ward, the family is paying the Brazil rate (which is less than the U.S. rate).

However, the family is planning on moving back to the U.S. in a couple of months, before their missionary returns.

When their records get transferred to their new ward in the U.S., will they continue to pay the Brazil rate that they started with? Or will they switch over and pay the U.S. rate?

The bishop and stake president here in Brazil believe they will continue to pay the Brazil rate but this is a new situation we're dealing with and I want to make sure I have the correct information.

Thanks!

Financial responsibility will NOT transfer when the membership records are moved. Normally such changes are coordinated between the old and new wards with the Missionary Department. I'd get on the phone with them and talk about it.
