Countries With The Most Members With Only One Temple

Shortly after I began this blog I made a post about the five countries with the largest memberships with only one temple. I wanted to update this list since temples were recently announced in three nations which used to only have one temple: Argentina, Chile and Peru. Below is an updated list with membership totals provided by the Church as of the end of 2008. Stake and district totals are current.

1. Ecuador - 185,663 (34 stakes, 9 districts)
   
2. Colombia - 163,764 (28 stakes, 12 districts)
   
3. Bolivia - 163,119 (24 stakes, 10 districts)
   
4. Venezuela - 144,089 (26 stakes, 9 districts)
   
5. Honduras - 131,098 (20 stakes, 9 districts)

Each of these countries have at least one other city which may have a temple announced. It should be noted that most other Latin American nations did not receive an announcement of a second temple until their memberships were more than double Ecuador's current membership (the nation which currently has the largest membership with one temple). Furthermore the temples in each of these countries are centrally located for members, as have the first temples for many Latin American countries. The temple in Honduras is not even built yet and just began construction. Unless the Church initiates a more aggressive temple building program similar to the late 1990s, these nations will likely not receive a second temple until membership increases dramatically in number and activity.
