Andorra
History
In 1991, there were five members living in Andorra. The first to be baptized in Andorra was Marlize Gomez Lima in April 1992. The Andorra Branch (a small congregation) was created in August 1993, and the first branch presidents were Javier Ortega and Jose Luis Bota, who did not live in the branch boundaries. Previously members traveled 84 miles to Lerida, Spain, to attend meetings.
In that same year, religious freedom was granted and the Church applied for official recognition. In 1994 the branch received its own chapel. Previously meetings were held in private homes. Javier Agulced Jerez was baptized with his wife and two daughters in March 1998 and became the first branch president to live in the branch.
