The Church organized a new stake in Abidjan on March 1st. The Abidjan Cote d’Ivoire Selmer Stake was organized from a division of the Abidjan Cote d’Ivoire Niangon South Stake, Abidjan Cote d’Ivoire Toit Rouge Stake, and the Abidjan Cote d’Ivoire Yopougon Attie Stake. The new stake includes the following six wards: the Andokoi, Foncier, Nouveau Quartier 2nd, Selmer, Sideci 1st, and Sogefiha Wards. Mission leadership report more than 1,000 attended the special conference to create the new stake. The new stake is the Church’s 13th stake to be organized in the Abidjan metropolitan area. Several additional stakes in Abidjan are ready to divide and additional stakes in the city will likely be created later this year.There are now 15 stakes and 17 districts in Cote d’Ivoire
