  2. I don't know if this is a technicality, but I think for the ten stakes the Church News is counting the Brazzaville Republic of Congo stake. Luputa is the ninth stake in the DROC

  3. Anyone know the status of language translations for the Congolese official languages. The Church has a full Book of Mormon translation in French and Lingala, but what about KiKongo, Tshiluba and Swahili (I'm sure they've done this one but I've never looked)?

  4. The pamphlet "Testimony of the Prophet Joseph Smith" and the old edition of Gospel Principles is available in Kikongo and Tshiluba. The only LDS materials translated into the Shaba dialect of Swahili spoken in the eastern DR Congo is the "Testimony of the Prophet Joseph Smith."
