Statistical Report, 2009

This entry is part of my general conference application series.

Statistical Report, 2009, by Presented by Brook P. Hales
Secretary to the First Presidency


I remember when the statistical report was nothing more than words for me. Now, however, I get interested in trends in the data and other analyses. I won't go into them, though.

Also, the older I become, the more names I recognize in the list of Church members who passed away in the previous year. As sad as their passing may be, I like to think of how I've been positively influenced and blessed because of their service. I guess this is an indication that they accomplished what they set out to do.
