Re: West Africa only has 37% activity rate.
I'm surprised it is 37%. Thought it would be lower.

More information on West Africa from a different article:
http://www.deseretnews.com/article/8656 ... ospel.html
So - global activity rates are less than 37%.
Meaning there are less than 5.8 million active members.
The members in West Africa are full of faith, added Elder Nash. “They are intelligent people of faith. They hunger for doctrine and their souls resonate to the truth and doctrine of the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ,” he said.
The average sacrament meeting attendance of the Church in West Africa may be the highest percentage of any area of the Church, he said. “Our people love the Lord. They face misunderstanding, ignorance about the Church and outright persecution in some places — and yet remain faithful to the Lord and His Church. A testimony meeting in West Africa is an hour of spiritual feasting: testimony is borne of divine truths, of the strength of doctrine and gospel principles applied in daily living. The testimonies are usually brief, simple, direct, focused on the basic, core doctrine of the Church and rich with the Spirit.”

“When we are confronted with evidence that challenges our deeply held beliefs we are more likely to reframe the evidence than we are to alter our beliefs. We simply invent new reasons, new justifications, new explanations. Sometimes we ignore the evidence altogether.” (Mathew Syed 'Black Box Thinking')
