The continued growth of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Philippines is very encouraging. So is the growth in Cape Verde.
Nigeria is an interesting case. The Church has a large presence there, but with over 200 million people it also has some of the most unreached people on the face of the earth. There is huge potential in the central region of the country. A mission based in Makurdi could help in a lot in this expansion.
Strange that 5 stakes in Utah were discontinued!
David M., on your Temple Predictions map online, for the District marker that you have listed with a Latitude and Longitude "-1.850131, 37.420039", in place of the name, you may have meant to give it the name of "Kilungu Hills Kenya District", located in Kyambeke, Kenya, instead.
A few reasons why stakes in older areas are discontinued.
-Members moving out and nonmembers moving in.
- Decline in birthrate.
- Empty nesters. Parents choosing to stay in their home even after their children leave.
On the other hand, there's continued need for wards and stakes in the newer neighborhoods.
Also, in comparing your Stake and District lists with mine. I found your map is missing the following Districts.
The 5 Utah Correctional Facility Districts may have been intentional from leaving off your map. But the Darkhan Mongolia and Solano Philippines Districts both would have Temple attending members. If that was the only reason for leaving these 7 Districts off your map. Or they may have just been passed over when making your map.
Darkhan Mongolia (368040)
Great Basin Utah District (Correctional Facility) (2275597)
Great Salt Lake Utah (Correctional Facility) (2171775)
Green River Basin Utah District (Correctional Facility) (2275503)
Salt Lake Basin (Correctional Facility) (2253550)
Solano Philippines (610011)
Wasatch Shoreline Youth (Correctional Facility - Youth) (2253674)
All 7 can be searched by name, or assigned unit number on the Meetinghouse Locator map.
Sorry, David. in both posts I forgot to sign in. This Anonymous, is not so Anonymous. I'm Chris D.
To add to that, my Stake here has been consolidated 4 times in the last 100 years. Five, if you count the original Salt Lake Stake (being the Tenth Ward organized in the Salt Lake Valley. It then became part of the Salt Lake Liberty Stake at the turn of the century. And then in the Split went to the Salt Lake Park Stake in the early 40s, until 2011 when the Stake was consolidated with the Salt Lake Sugar House Stake, which in turn was consolidated a few years later into the now Salt Lake Central Stake. And who knows how long before the Central Stake gets consolidated/merged.
Thank you for catching that. Even though I tried to do it accurately, I entered the stakes and districts in quickly so I'm sure there's still at least a handful of errors that still need to be corrected. I'm tweaking and updating my lists as I'm finding information I have previously overlooked.
I will stop updating this map at least 30 days ahead of conference and continue the pause until at least 30 days after to give time to compare with what is actually announced.
For those that want to see my list, it's located in the link below:

Thank you for the assistance Chris D. The correctional facility districts are left off intentionally as they're not temple attending and therefore not contributing to a need for additional temples. In addition, the ones I looked up were spread across multiple temple districts which will make it difficult to place them on a map like this.
Your welcome. Also, in addition, in a very fast comparison with my list. Here are the 30 Stake differences i found on your list. And at the same time, I made a few spelling error corrections on my list for example the Arhus Denmark Stake (with the special A letter) was sometime changed back to Aarhus Denmark on the map and your list. And the Esquintla Guatemala Stake was renamed and spelled the Escuintla Guatemala Stake, at some point. I found my mistakes while reviewing your Stake list.
