Cabo Verde, Land of Light

In Acts 10, Cornelius was the first Gentile to be baptized into the Church without previously having joined the Jews. Blacks could always be members of the Church and believe but the priesthood was the only thing they didn't have.

Feb 12, 2013 - At around the 5:23 minute mark, this video makes an outrageously inaccurate claim that marriage didn't exist in Cape Verde prior to LDS's arrival. Cape Verdeans throughout the world have been predominantly Catholic since it was first inhabited more than 550 years ago, and thousands of years ago for early Portuguese settlers. Obviously, Catholics are pro-marriage, so you cannot claim that marriage is "new" to them. Marriage was important in Cape Verde long before the LDS church even existed.

The LDS church has always excepted black members .They were one of the first, if not the earliest church to embrace blacks and allow them to worship with them in their congregations.

Jan 4, 2013 - Mormons until recently didn't accept people with dark skin until recently when their tax exempt status would be revoked! do research! People with dark skin was thought only to be slaves of those in the Mormon church! Wow now there is allegedly no barriers? Wow!

Dec 13, 2012 - This was a great project. It was a pleasure to edit this video and watch the footage, story, and music come together. Out of all the videos I've edited this year for the LDS Church, this is one of the ones I'm most proud of.

Connor Olsen Says:

Nov 29, 2012 - What an amazing video! I got my call to serve there, and go into the MTC January 9th! I leave for the country Feb 19!!

Thomas Ballard Says:

Sep 22, 2012 - Have you taken the time to get to know any of the people in your country who are members of this universally considered Christian church?

Thomas Ballard Says:

Sep 22, 2012 - Have you taken the time to look into what you are suggesting? The Church spends hundreds of millions of dollars each year on worldwide humanitarian aid. That doesn't appear to be seeking monetary gains. Maybe take a look into what the religion is all about and you may be surprised.

Jordan Freestone Says:

Sep 12, 2012 - I got my call here (: i report to the MTC oct. 3rd

Andre de la Rosa Says:

Sep 10, 2012 - You keep your disgusting cult away from my people.

Aug 19, 2012 - So the Mormon taught that blacks were the sed of Satan and now they're going to seek them out?! No doubt for monetary gains. Typical of all religions....pffft.
