Is Mormonism Still Growing?

The April General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is historically the time of year when the denomination releases its statistical reports about membership numbers, missionary service and new temples for the previous year. In this year's report of 2021 data, one main finding is that, as expected, COVID-19 has put a damper on every measurement of growth that wasn't entirely within the church's direct control. In other words, every metric is slowing down except for the number of new temples the church is building or planning. However, judging from what is happening with some other Christian religions around the world, it could have been much worse.
