What would a child in 1949 have understood it to be?

We more often read about these things from the perspective of the missionaries, but this one is from an old man who was a boy watching them. He quotes from a notebook he kept as a nine-year-old secretary of the missionaries’ Primary and never threw away. Not every day you come across a Mormon boy so much like Mormon as a boy.

Salvioli was baptized in 1939 at age 10 in the Rio de La Plata.

This first one deals with the first two years of the Church in La Plata, Argentina, starting with the arrival of missionaries in 1937. (link)

Next is his account of President McKay’s visit to Argentina in 1955. (link)

There was a website I came across years ago with lots of photos and programs from the first couple decades of the La Plata branch, but I can’t find it at the moment.

Pratt kind of like their pioneer ancestor. Most of the hymns were translated by him. But I don’t think it was basketball that they played at M.I.A!
