Speaking via satellite broadcast to all congregations in western Europe, he said: “The first LDS missionaries arrived in western Europe more than 170 years ago. The Church now has more than 15 million members worldwide, with half a million in Europe. This is a great and marvelous work; it is not a small thing in a corner. It is God’s work and glory to bring the blessings of the gospel into the lives of His children, wherever they live!”

Activity at Sacrament meeting averages 100,000 in total for Europe. (see leaked European Area Presidency Report)
Europe has a population of 733 million.
Active Mormons represent 0.0136% of the population.
This work is hardly great, not so marvellous, and is a very small thing in a tiny little corner.
Lying is intentionally deceiving others. Bearing false witness is one form of lying. The Lord gave this commandment to the children of Israel: “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour” (Exodus 20:16). Jesus also taught this when He was on earth (see Matthew 19:18). There are many other forms of lying. When we speak untruths, we are guilty of lying. We can also intentionally deceive others by a gesture or a look, by silence, or by telling only part of the truth. Whenever we lead people in any way to believe something that is not true, we are not being honest.
