It has been interesting to read in the last decade and a half how Africans have come to North America and spread their faith in Christ in the US, primarily. I hope Botswana and other neighbors will develop in the faith of the Lord, and that politically and economically all the countries can continue to develop. The untapped resources of this part of southern Africa is both in what the people are and what the land contains: treasures beyond measure. God bless all that go there, or who are from there.

The would leave the Roodepoort Stake with 7 wards and 1 branch. Otherwise, the Botswana Stake may look like the Sioux Falls South Dakota Stake, which currently has 3 wards and several branches. Even if that is the case, surely additional wards will be created in the near future, as it seems the Church is experiencing positive growth throughout Botswana.Gnesileahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17757196258988210760noreply@blogger.com
