18. Give the specific reasons for this proposal, including such factors as unit size, travel, chapel crowding, membership growth, and so on.
Los hermanos de Barbosa se han esforzado durante mas de 9 años para lograr convertirse en un barrio. Han estado trabajando mucho en fortalecerse espiritualmente, en el pago
de sus diezmos, en trabajar continuamente en la obra misional, bautizando y ordenando al sacerdocio, su historia familiar y viajes al templo; estan muy animados por recibir las
bendiciones de convertirse en un barrio. han sacrificado mucho por lograr sus objetivos y considero que estan preparados para mayores bendiciones.

es la unica rama de la estaca y es la que queda mas alejada de los limites de la misma, y aun asi se han mantenido y han trabajado conjuntamente con nosotros, a pesar de sus
dificultades de transporte y distancia, y considero que las bendiciones de un barrio les ayudaran a crecer y progresar a un mejor ritmo.

No cambia el nombre, se propone el mismo "Barrio Barbosa"
