Abstract

When Minnie Budd read the Book of Mormon for the first time in Gwelo, Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) in 1950, she knew it was true, but there were no missionaries or other members of the Church in the town, nor could she get baptized for seven years. That didn’t stop her, however. She started sharing the book with everyone she met, and began running church meetings from her house, not knowing how far reaching her efforts would be.

Minnie first read the Book of Mormon in 1950 and was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in October of 1957.
