First Two Stakes to be Created in Cambodia this May

Missionaries in Cambodia report that this May the Church will create its first two stakes in Cambodia from the Phnom Penh Cambodia North and Phnom Penh Cambodia South Districts. The Church has worked for many years to create stakes in the country. Currently Cambodia is the country with the most members without a stake.

There are quite a few large stakes (by just numbers of units) listed above. Good, strong growth happening.

Good news. With slightly more members and congregations and now one more stake than Mongolia, Cambodia might turn out to get a temple before Mongola does.

It looks to me like Frisco stake is likely to split soon. With 13 wards and a brnach, they can create two stakes with at least 6 wards.
