We once used a companionship created from the young men who were currently serving ful time missions.lajackson wrote:Yes. A family is assigned to a companionship. That companionship must be in a district, and that district must be assigned to a supervisor. When the districts are set up, the supervisor is either in the elders quorum or the high priests group.
Our ward has managed to get a district in the high priests group entitled (No Supervisor), but this appears to be an anomaly in MLS. I cannot create a similar district in the elders quorum, and if I do anything with the (No Supervisor) district, the names all dump by default to one of the other districts.
I think this is an error in the MLS code or database. We are reluctant to fix it, however, because it does come in so handy for tracking families assigned to a quorum but without specific home teachers.
While it is seemingly undesirable and unacceptable that actual households of saints would not be assigned hometeachers and not hometaught, the reality is that there are lots of reasons that this takes place:Alan_Brown wrote:So it is possible that the stats could be EQ 90%, HP 90%, unassigned 2%, Ward 50%. But such a disparity between EQ/HP stats and total stats is only possible if there are a lot of unassigned families (an undesirable situation) who are not getting home taught (an unacceptable situation).

I have encountered many parents whose adult children live elsewhere but for whatever reason the parents want their childrens' records left in the parent's current ward.
