Are non-English wards/branches in America a failure?

There are several here in SLC that are doing well.
Perhaps you Texans just can't do it.

I think they should be disbanded. The only reason for their existence is the language barrier. Is that enough to separate us? Think of all that we share.
I think the existence of segregated wards is evidence of a gigantic missed opportunity.

We do a bad job or of re-integrating members when we disbanded or kicked out of singles wards, but the administration grinds forward. Unless they can transition those members, I hope they never do it. Many Christian denominations have foreign languages congregations.

It shall come to pass that there will be separate groups, set aside from the rest, where the gospel will be weak, and no boys will become missionaries, and no girls marry in the temple, and yea, their progrency will wax weaker until they are no more numbered among his sheep.
