Matt,
Thanks for the excellent monthly report! I really enjoyed the analysis of the Church's position in French Polynesia. The history is very interesting--first foreign-language mission of the Church, the effect of abandonment of the work for a number of years, with many of the saints remaining faithful, and the recovery of the original strength after re-establishment.
The recent years of accelerated growth are very encouraging. In just the last 2 years there are 17 new stakes in the Pacific Area.
It was very interesting to read about the Community of Christ's missionary success and number of members and congregations.
I also was glad to learn of the various languages spoken by Church members and how many members are Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking.
