Introduction
The Church has a very strong LDS community in the Eugene, Oregon mission. It is one of the largest Christian denominations in the area. There are 10 stakes in the Oregon Eugene mission to which a missionary could be assigned. The University of Oregon and Oregon State University are located in Eugene and Corvallis, respectively, which means that there are many singles wards and student wards in those areas. The Oregon Eugene Mission is blessed to have a temple within the boundaries of the mission, the Medford, Oregon Temple. Missionaries will get the chance to travel to the temple multiple times throughout there mission.
