Yesterday the League City Texas Stake was created. It consists of the Galveston, League City, South Shore, Clear Lake 1st, Clear Lake 2nd, Broadway 1st and Pasadena 1st wards, as well as the Lehi (Spanish) and Kemah (Spanish) branches. The new stake president is Weldon Reeves.
In addition, one branch moved from the Houston Texas East stake to the Friendswood stake, and two wards moved from the Kingwood stake to the Houston Texas East stake.

Stake Conference
This will presumably be of interest to my family.
This coming Sunday is Stake Conference. It has been announced that at this Stake Conference a new stake will be created. For a variety of reasons, we have every reason to believe that the new stake will be made up of parts of Friendswood and the Houston Texas East (our current) stake, and that the two Clear Lake wards will be in the new stake.
We have also been told that by the end of the year, another new stake will be created somewhere in the greater Houston area. I will provide more details after next Sunday.

40 Years
OK, I'll have to try to mention the past week at some point, but that will have to wait. This is just something I think is interesting to look at.
I was looking at the statistical report from April conference in 1969. I thought it was interesting to look at the differences in some of the numbers between then and this April.

Quote
I just added this to my Bus Booklet of Truth blog, but I wanted to put it here, as well, because I don't know if anybody actually looks at the other blog... And I think it's important.
"For many years I thought of the Savior’s experience in the garden and on the cross as places where a large mass of sin was heaped upon Him. Through the words of Alma, Abinadi, Isaiah, and other prophets, however, my view has changed. Instead of an impersonal mass of sin, there was a long line of people, as Jesus felt “our infirmities” (Hebrews 4:15), “[bore] our griefs, . . . carried our sorrows . . . [and] was bruised for our iniquities” (Isaiah 53:4–5).
"The Atonement was an intimate, personal experience in which Jesus came to know how to help each of us."
