The Mormon church has a rather extensive online catalogue, all based on a person’s geographic location. As explained by Bishop Proulx, “If someone would like to know more about the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, they can go to a website called Mormon.org" He mentioned how anyone can input their address “and see exactly who’s their bishop, and what congregation they belong to.” Here are all the locations that come up for the Reno-Sparks area:

In addition to church information, there is also a catalogue of 180 personal profiles with some connection to Reno. We found these connections to be quite varied, from community members to missionaries, both local and foreign. Here are some examples:
“I grew up in Reno, Nevada. I am currently serving a mission in the Rostov-na-donu mission. I'm a Mormon."
"I was born in New Zeleand and raised in Reno, Nevada. I'm a Mormon."
"I grew up in Reno, Nevada. I chose to stay in the LDS church, even as most of my family left it. I'm a Mormon."
"I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I've grown up bilingual and am going on a mission to Reno Nevada. I'm a Mormon."
"I am a retired Navy family physician. I grew up in Reno, Nevada and love the outdoors. I'm a Mormon."
