Great to see the growth in these two strong areas of the Church.
ReplyDeleteI find it compelling to see stake sizes being smaller in unit numbers. I wonder if more stake presidencies per stake member will help more members be more engaged, active in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Perhaps another indication of hastening the work (of the Lord).
