Abstract

The people of Mozambique did not wait for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to determine the appropriate time to enter their country, the early Mozambican pioneers paved the way and called in the troops. When the first full-time missionaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints entered Maputo, Mozambique they found an official branch already organized with a full presidency, relief society, and auxiliary leaders. As the missionaries entered the Maputo Branch sacrament meeting for the first time, the members had been fasting for their arrival.
