LUANDA, Angola — Fourteen years ago, Cacuaco Ward Bishop Isidro L. Baptista stood under a several-hundred-year-old baobab tree with other pioneer members of the Church in this country as Elder D. Todd Christofferson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles pronounced a blessing on Angola and its people.
That moment was special, Bishop Baptista said.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints had a presence in this country on the Atlantic coast in southern Africa since 1985 and was growing through the efforts of people who had found the gospel in Europe, returned to Angola and told their friends and neighbors.
