Two weeks ago there were ten new wards and branches (net), last week nine, and already 2 this week (on today's CDOL report--no reports on Mondays).<br /><br />This is close to a 500 new wards and branches on a yearly basis, and I remember things picked up like this last year. Time will tell. <br /><br />Stake growth was higher last year because there were nearly 20 or so in just June alone, many of them in Mexico, as a number of districts were made stakes (to coincide with some mission presidents completing their service).Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01629100796960009292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786908254617003646.post-60629418021322076622010-09-25T07:17:27.110-06:002010-09-25T07:17:27.110-06:00Stake growth and congregational growth have seemed...Stake growth and congregational growth have seemed to have took massive dips to what they were in comparison to 2009.<br /><br />compare 180 new congregations this year to 315 last year. 19 new stakes this year, to 47 this year. <br /><br />Only explanation is that the expansion of infastructure comes in phases in accordance to demand. Meaning next year, we'll possibly see an increase again. More than likely as new missions consolidate as well.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18251390229042361699noreply@blogger.com
