Fair enough. I can only speak to my experiences as an LDS person, and comparing

my experiences living in Utah vs. out of Utah. Not trying to generalize, just stating what I have experienced. We have found it harder to make friends in this area, where everyone in our ward has family nearby. Outside of Utah, you're more likely to live in wards where most people don't have family nearby.

Question for those of you who live in Utah with no immediate family

I've heard that from outsiders that've moved to Utah a few times.

It's not a Utah thing, and I don't even think it's solely an LDS thing.

Church can be hard since it demands time, but people still hang out with family
