Thirty-two years after the first missionaries arrived in Trinidad and
Tobago, the church organized its first stake in the south Caribbean nation
March 1.
Elder Neil L. Andersen of the Presidency of the Seventy presided over
the organization of the Port of Spain Trinidad Stake. Elder Francisco J.
Vinas, first counselor in the Caribbean Area Presidency, also attended and
addressed the conference.\"There was a feeling of long awaited exuberance. There was electricity
in the air,\" Elder Andersen said. \"It is great to see the kingdom go forth
to every kindred, tongue and people.\"
About 750 church members gathered at the Cascadia Hotel and Conference
Centre in Port of Spain, the capital of Trinidad and Tobago, to witness the
organization.See the full story on ldschurchnews.com.
