Spencer's Gone to Portugal!: View of Guimarães from Penha

Portugal-The Lighthouse of Europe

In the fall of 1981 Elder Boyd K. Packer visited Portugal. During his stay he said to the mission President Harold G. Hillam, "It is going to be in Portugal as it has been in South America, where there has been so much growth and advancement in the Church. The growth in Portugal will be slow at first, but then there will be an explosion."

During a visit by Elder Theodore Tuttle in February of 1983 he said, "Portugal will be the key that will open Europe, and will help the Church grow here in this part of the world."

In 1986, Elder Russell M. Nelson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles said, "Portugal will be covered from north to south and from east to west with stakes of Zion. Chapels will be built in cities and towns throughout the whole land. And as a consequence of the growth of the kingdom of God, this nation will be exceedingly blessed and will become again a great nation as it was in times of old."
