Peru
Today a new stake was organized in Peru. The Casa Grande Peru Stake was organized from the Casa Grande Peru District which had seven branches in several small cities and towns northwest of Trujillo. It is unclear how many branches became wards in the new stake. There are now 95 stakes and 23 districts in Peru.

ReplyDeleteWill that Enoch Stake increase the likelihood of a temple near Cedar City/
ReplyDeleteI would say the next temple to be built in Utah would be Cedar City or Tooele... given the relative distance from the closest temple and number of stakes in each area
ReplyDeleteJust an update,
ReplyDeleteThere has been some congregational growth activity in Brazil over the past week or so.
This there has been just 6 congregations created in Brazil. The total increasing from 1925 to 1931. A slower than usual increase.
Congregational growth has been non-existent in Mexico this year.
Whereas the Philippines, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Nigeria and Peru are currently leading in Congregational growth rates outside of the US
