Missionary work in Botswana began in 1990. Among the first converts was Kwasi Agyare Dwomoh, an architect from Ghana working for the Botswana government. Dwomoh was called as the first branch president in 1991. A branch is a small congregation. He later became the first district president in Botswana. By March of 1992, the fast-growing branch was ready to be divided into two branches as the membership had grown to 160. And in 1992 a third branch was organized in the city of Lobatse.<ref> The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, "Facts and Statistics: Botswana, https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/facts-and-statistics/country/Botswana, accessed 21 March 2020.</ref> | |||
