Temple augmentation is not as sure a measure of LDS growth, but it certainly may be a sign of deeper growth, with more invested membership, pardon the pun.<br /><br />Stakes are well over 3,000 now. When will there be 4,000?<br />Eduardohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05019747288076783700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786908254617003646.post-84413722890016938742013-08-29T06:51:49.522-06:002013-08-29T06:51:49.522-06:00I suspect we are weeks, not months away from a mor...I suspect we are weeks, not months away from a more formal announcement. Under normal growth trends it would probably have been November or December.
