Several new branches have been created lately in the Dominican Republic and Paraguay. In the Dominican Republic, the cities of Constanza and Bayaguana received their first branches (and missionaries in Constanza and probably Bayaguana too). In Paraguay, branches and wards continue to be organized mostly around the capital city of Asuncion.
I'm a little confused on this one. I was a missionary in the La Vega Stake back in 2005, Constanza had a branch back then...it was a very weak branch, but had been in operation for quite some time. Perhaps it got closed and reopened, but--if memory serves correctly--this is not it's "first" branch.
