New Districts Created in Ghana and Kenya

Ghana
The Church organized a new district in Ghana on April 28th.

The Axim Ghana District was organized from a division of the Tarkwa Ghana District (organized in 2016). The new district includes the following three branches: Axim, Esiama, and Nkroful. The Tarkwa Ghana District now has only two branches (Brenu-Akyirim and Tarkwa) and one member group (Bogoso) although the member group appears to have become a branch or may become a branch in the near future.

There are now 24 stakes and 12 districts in Ghana.

Kenya
The Church organized a new district in western Kenya.

The Kitale Kenya District was organized from a division of the Eldoret Kenya District (organized in 2011). The new district includes the following five branches: Kitale, Mautuma, Misikhu, Naitiri, and Sikhendu. The realigned Eldoret Kenya district now has four branches (all located in the city of Eldoret): Eldoret, Huruma, Langas, and Sosiani.

There are now two stakes and five districts in Kenya.

Would it make sense for Ghana to get a second temple?

Eduardo, I know I am a little late in answering here, and I don't know if you will ever read this reply, but for the benefit of anyone who is interested, not only do i feel it is likely that Ghana will get a second temple in the near future, (given the announcement last October of a second temple for Nigeria), but my personal research on the matter shows that a second temple for that nation will likely be built in the city of Kumasi, and I would not in any way be surprised if that occurs within the next 1-3 General Conferences. Hope this comment is helpful to all who read it.
