Mormons gain more members


More Latin Americans are joining the Mormon church, according to a Reuters article that followed a Mormon church in Buenos Aires.

Latin Americans make up 5.2 million of the 13.5 million people worldwide in the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints.

The article attributes an increase in membership to "stability." A second temple is planned for Cordoba, Argentina, which will add to one of 33 temples in Latin America for Mormons with restricted entry permits.
