I think there were about 400 members that were all in their teenage years that were baptized in the time frame. I think Sao Joao de Madeira (Which included Santa Maria de Feira and Oliveira de Azemais) had about 800.

I'd be interested in hearing some of what happened? I obviously heard rumors about all of it.

When I arrived in Portugal, John K. Carmack of the seventy was the acting mission president, as Sims had been sent home about a month earlier. He left a couple of days later, where we had several weeks where the APs were supervising everything (under distant supervision by the Area Doctor) till Soares arrived around General Conference. It was interesting, because Sims was from my home ward and his oldest son was best friends with my younger brother.
