The History of the Mormons in Trinidad and Tobago is not as dramatic as the pioneers trek to Salt Lake City, nor were there any martydoms, but it has been very difficult to organize and establish the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints within the country. Jean A. B. Borde compiled two short volumes on the Mormons there entitled, 'THE HISTORY OF THE SAINTS IN TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO' (Books I & II) The establishment of the Church in Trinidad begun with Elizabeth Anne Rogers. She wrote the prophet of the Church (at the time it was Pres. Spencer W. Kimball) requesting full-time missionaries to be sent to Trinidad. Pres. Kimball responded quickly by directing that the Caracas Venezuela Mission send two full-time missionaries to Trinidad to begin the work.

News: Knowledge By Visions

Name: Nick Country: Comments: SusiSu, don't mistake sure knowledge for arrogance or a lack of humility. I was mearly stating fact. As for my sounding odd for being so bold and not being a prophet with the responsibility of voicing things like this in public...What makes me any less of a prophet concerning my own personal experiences? I share what I do for the purpose of letting others know that these things are available to ALL of us. And if I keep my mouth closed, how will you know? I know there are cookies who say and do things they shouldn't just as JB described. But not all who open their mouths have distorted ideals or motives. I wish you could experience what has so blessed my life. That is why I have said what I said. Maybe you are correct in saying it may be too much for others to absorb. But I can't know who that might be and I don't want to deprive those who may be given hope to search for and aquire such experiences with God. Should I close my mouth for the sake of the unbelievers, or open my mouth for the sake of those who have a desire to believe? We ARE a people who SHOULD be expressing our knowledge and love for God, whatever that might be. It's not bragging, it's sharing. And I do know there is some sacred knowledge that shouldn't be shared. But what exactly was it that I said that fit that sort of sacred bill? Doing this publicly is not casting pearls before swine on my part. It's mearly testifying to the world that God does live and is more than willing to speak with anyone with a repentant heart. I did mention I've had a tough go of doing things that haven't always pleased the Lord, and I'm painfully aware of those things. So a lack of humility shouldn't be an issue. You are only reading and seeing what you want to hear in piece meal, as opposed to what I said. Read ALL of it and place the whole thing within that context. I'll be the first to BOLDLY proclaim the things I've said and feel no betraying shame for them. I feel like I would be betraying God & you if I didn't share them. And if I am wrong for doing this, I apologize for offending you or anyone else. [See Similar Topics]
