The empirical exploration it organized in three main areas: historical documents, apologetics narratives and ethnographic data. In particular, the article analyzes the beginning of Mormonism in the country in the interwar, in order to inquire the social formation of national leadership during the fifties and the institutional organization in the next decades. In doing so, we take an special attention of the religious and political fields and the missionary work among Europeans migrants.
