One exurban ward in the stake had a huge primary so they redivided the stake. My wife's ward grew geographically so they gained members. So they're "growing", as you can plainly see. My wife's very urban ward is also the most populous and densest incidentally. You would think the morg would grow the fastest where most of the people are. NOT!
The exurban wards are where most Utahans like to live when they are stuck living in "The Mission", and all the "growth" is from their procreating. Obviously, procreation is outpacing convert baptisms by a considerable margin and overall the stake is not growing so the young must be just replacing the dying, inactives, and apostates.
