The History of the Saints in Trinidad & Tobago Book One

PREFACE

Having been blessed by the Lord to be called through a prophet to serve as a full-time missionary in the England Manchester Mission⁽¹⁾ (North West England and Northern Wales), I've seen how great an impact history can have among people!

The history of the Church in the United Kingdom is very colorful and strengthening to the members there. Charles Dickens⁽²⁾ described the British Mormons as, "The pick and flower of England." What about the Trinidadian Mormons? I felt it important that we should also know of our own pioneering history.

This book* has been produced to enlighten those who seek knowledge of important events that took place in the lives of members and non members in Trinidad & Tobago⁽³⁾. The Lord has stated for us to

"Study and learn, and become acquainted with all good books, and with languages tongues and people " - (D & C 90:15)

I do not claim to be a great historian nor writer; in fact without the help of my editors, the prompting of the Holy Spirit and my cooperative member friends this book would not have been. It is permissible to review and quote from this book for historical information when teaching or sharing testimony. Any other use of this book must receive written authorization from the author.
