The History of the
Saints in Trinidad & Tobago by Jean A. B. Borde
Synopsis:
Missionaries came to Trinidad in 1975 as visitors from the Venezuela
Caracas Mission and then returned. Later, Elizabeth Dopson, a Trinidadian
member returning form the UK, requested full-time missionaries come to
Trinidad from then President of the Church Pres. Spencer W. Kimball.
Through this missionaries came in 1977 and baptized the first member
families: Payne & Borde. A lot of government restriction
delayed the early organization of the Church.
