New Stake
Last Sunday, a new stake was created in Lima, Peru. The Lima Perú Pachacamac Stake was organized from the Lima Peru Villa Salvador Stake and includes the following six wards: The Floresta, José Gálvez, Las Lomas, Lurin, Pachacamac, and Villa Alejandro Wards. There are now 41 stakes in the Lima metropolitan area.
District Discontinued
The Church recently discontinued the Marcona Peru District. With originally only two branches, the former district had one of its two branches closed and was consolidated with the nearby Nazca Peru District (which had one of its three branches closed). The Nazca Peru District now has three branches within its boundaries.
There are now 99 stakes and 22 districts in Peru.

Thanks for the news. I served in the Lima South Mission and was in Villa Alejandro. I knew it was only a matter of time before the Villa El Salvador Stake was split due to its size and activity. Exciting news. The news about Marcona, however, is less enthusiastic. Also part of my mission, Nazca has always been a struggling zone. Hopefully things can change there.
A friend of mine from Lima, Peru wrote me to say that his stake, La Molina (which includes the Lima temple in its boundaries) is set to be divided this coming weekend, to create the 100th Stake in Peru. They're making a big deal about it to get as many members to the Stake Conference as possible....
