We are commencing our third rotation through the stake units. Today we visited the University Park Ward, the ward where we actually reside. The challenge facing the ward is that the building, which they share with other units, is several miles from the boundaries of the ward. This makes missionary work difficult because investigators need to drive a long distance to get to Church meetings. It probably also has an impact on the members who may be deterred by the distance. On the other hand, the ward boundary encompasses a medical school (osteopathic), and there are several young, active families moving in each year.
The missionaries assigned to the ward are the ones who live in our apartment complex. They are working hard but not seeing much success as measured by number of investigators.
