Posted in the Facebook group "Fim dos Tempos"

"Em 1º de Julho, 7 novas missões serão criadas no Brasil: Santos, São Paulo Oeste, Piracicaba, Curitiba Sul, Juiz de Fora, Fortaleza Leste e Natal."

in English:

On July 1st 7 new missions will be created in Brazil: Santos, São Paulo West, Piracicaba, Curitiba South, Juiz de Fora, Fortaleza East and Natal.

Given how scattered the reports are and yet how many missions are being created in Latin America, I suspect we don't know quite a few new missions.

Brazil Santos will be from Brazil Sao Paulo South, and maybe even parts of Brazil Sao Paulo East given there's a mission district along BR-101 just east of Santos in Sao Sebastiao within less than an hour's drive.

Juiz de Fora. Which one? There's a small city known as that near BR-381 which runs between SP and MG States. But I've seen another.

Tgere;s aksi a Piracicaba in SP state, so that looks like it will take from both Campinas and Ribeirao Preto.

Brazil Natal will cover much of Paraiba state (PR). Probably taking from Joao Pessoa which is just south of there.

Looks like they might be splitting Fortaleza down the middle or some other way, because as has been noted, not much activity outside the metro area.

Sao Paulo West will be probably Osasco, etc., along the Rod. Castelo Branco and Rod. Raposo Tavares corridors out to where the Sorocaba mission boundaries are.

I heard today the number of new missions will be 60 or so. If so, we only know of a third of them so far

They made the announcement today. KSL posted a story but did not have the list immediately available for posting at the same time the story was.

Natal is currently in the Joan Pessoa Mission, so I am guessing they will essentially split that mission in half.

The Juiz de Fora stake is based in Juiz de Fora which is located in Minas Gerais State just north of the boundary with Rio de Janeiro state. It is currently located in the Rio de Janeiro Mission. I am guessing that is where the new mission will be headquartered. That would mean a division of the Rio de Janeiro mission.
