During the time President Monson has been the Prophet, (2008-2014) 19 countries have grown enough to have their own stake. That compares to:
Spencer W. Kimball 26 countries (1974 - 1985)
Gordon B. Hinckley 15 countries (1995 - 2008)
David O. McKay 15 countries (1951 - 1969)
All other Prophets had 4 or less, most (seven prophets) had no new countries with a first stake.
Map of Cambodia Stakes:
It's a long trip to either Hong Kong, China or Manilla temple in The Philippines
Map of Jamaica Stake:
Closest temple is over in the Dominican Republic (or Mexico, Honduras, Costa Rico or Panama ?)
