Statistical Report, 2008 - Brother Brook P. Hales sat pm

Even a 'Statistical Report' can be about more than numbers. For instance, in 2008 there were:
  • 2,818 stakes. One of those was ours, the Hillsboro Oregon Stake.
  • 28,109 Wards and Branches. One of those was ours, the Quatama Ward.
  • 13,508,509 members of the Church. 10 of those were from our family (including son-in-law and grandson)
  • 265,593 converts baptized. Danielle had a role in teaching some of those.
  • 52,494 full-time missionaries. Including Hermana Danielle Loftus!
Also, there were four temples dedicated, including two in Idaho. We attended the open house for the Twin Falls Idaho temple and Cambrai attended the open house for the Rexburg Idaho temple. The other two were in Panama City Panama and Curitiba Brazil, which is further evidence of the growth and strength of the world-wide church.

Some prominent members who passed away during 2008 included Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin, on of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles; Elder J. Thomas Fyans, an emeritus General Authority (I believe that he was a member of the Presidency of the Seventy when I joined the Church); and Brother Daniel H. Ludlow, who I think was my sister Lori's mission president in Germany.

    MOM here: Danielle was one of those missionaries during this conference! We were able to attend the openhouse for the Twin Falls temple last summer, and Cambrai went to the dedication of the Rexburg Temple. What blessings we have!

    Nope, Lori's mission president was my bishop freshman year, Victor Ludlow. They are brothers. Daniel Ludlow wrote books on the Book of Mormon. Victor Ludlow's focus is on Isaiah.
