10 YSA Wards in Provo were consolidated largely because of the new missions and a proportional reduction in students at BYU.
A YSA Ward will have perhaps 200 members, while many of the missions will have about 250 missionaries. So, each mission is similar to and possibly larger than a YSA ward.
The Crosby Park Ward, Meridian Idaho Paramount Stake was created on 2 June. There are now 9 wards and 1 branch in the stake:
Meridian 20th Branch (Spanish) Baldwin Park Ward Bridge Tower Ward Coppercloud Ward Crosby Park Ward Linder Ward McMillan Ward Paramount Ward Sunnybrook Ward Tully Park Ward
The Desert Ridge Ward, Mesa Arizona Desert Ridge Stake was created on 2 June. There are now 12 wards in the stake:
Augusta Ranch 1st Ward Augusta Ranch 2nd Ward Bella Via Ward Desert Ridge Ward Desert Valley Ward Highland Ridge Ward Madero Ward Meridian Point Ward Mesquite Canyon Ward Mountain Ranch Ward Santa Rita Ward Stratford Estates Ward
The Minahasa, the main ethnic group of Manado, the only city in Sulewesi with a branch at present, have a long history of close connection with the Dutch. Some Minahasa tried to get North Sulewesi made a province of the Netherlands in the late 1940s instead of becoming part of indepdent Indonesia. There are also many Minahasa people in the Netherlands. I was wondering if there has been any outreach by the Church among the Indonesian population in the Netherlands.
Actually the discontinuance of YSA wards in Provo was entirely the result of turning what had been BYU student housing into MTC. It is too soon to say whether this is a permanent reduction or if new wards will be created in the fall. With lower enrollment over the summer it really would not have made sense to form new ward at the start of the summer.

Thanks Mike Johnson.
Is the expected additional growth one reason no stakes have been consolidated this year?

(Note: consolidation of 10 YSA W in UtSouth Area in Mid-month led to this month's slow growth in US)
