Comments:
Came from California to Portugal in 1974 for my husband to run an audio cassette company. Children: Jacqueline 7, Jennifer 3, Justin 6 months. Jonathan born Lisboa 1977. Two weeks after my husband's arrival Pres. Bangerter came with his family and four missionaries. We lived in Sao Martinho do Porto (80 Kilometers). We attended church every Sunday and other meetings during the week. I learned Portuguese fast. The Church grew rapidly. The members were spiritual, great missionaries, loved to sing the hymns and eager to learn. In Portuguese, I taught Primary, Relief Society, lead the choir, visiting teacher, served in Young Women's and was Young Women's President when we left in 1979. Returned when Lisboa was made a Stake and sang in the choir. Although, I wasn't a missionary called to Portugal, each member a missionary applied. It was such a spiritual experience. Portugal and it's people will always be in my heart. We return often. I'm praying the Lord will call me to serve a mission there when I retire. |
