  4. New mission presidents announced for 2021, along with the creation of the Mozambique Beira Mission. I've provided some analysis on this through my blog:

    That being said, I look forward to Matt's analysis on this whenever it comes. Keep up the great work, Matt!

  5. President Cavalcante soon to be over the Rio de Jainero south mission had his story told by Elder Andersen in his October 2015 general conference talk.

    3 of the new mission presidents at least are from Ghana. They are serving in Nigeria, Zimbabe and Jamaica. At least 2 of them work in the area office, 1 as area travel coordinator and I forget what the other does. So I am not sure if they are natives of Ghana. One of them, I think the area travel coordinator, was the first president of 2 different new stakes in Accra.

    The new president of the Kumasi Mission was a counselor to Paul Oscarson in a Houston area stake. Paul oscarson's wife was later general young woman president, the first of two Bonnies in a ro wa to hold that position.

    I believe the new president of the Spain Barcelona Mission is a general authority 70. He is from Chile.

    My stake president here in Detroit (Bloomfield Hills Michigan Stake) was called as president of the Peru Trujillo South Mission.

    I did not manage to analyze much beyond this.
