When did mormonism reach the azores islands?

Answer 1

The following comes from the official website of the church, in their statistical and historical information about Portugal and the Azores:

"The earliest known Latter-day Saints living on the Azores islands were members of the U.S. military assigned to Lajes Air Field about 1954. By 1958, a servicemen's group was functioning, and on 1 October 1967, Lajes Branch was organized. The following 9 October Maria Morgado was baptized on the island by members of the branch. She is the first known native to be baptized on Portuguese soil.

On 16 July 1978, President Allen K. Coryell of the Portugal Lisbon Mission traveled to the Azores to see if missionaries could begin work there. Two missionaries, Alice R. Kuster and Steven M. Sims were called on 6 September 1979 to go to the island.

The first Portuguese branch was organized in Angra on 5 March 1980. The Terceira Portugal District was created on 16 September 1982 to administer the branches on the islands."
