They know where the money is. They don't need more poor people who are a burden to them, they need $$
That picture is obviously taken during sunday school and not sacrament meeting so its not a good representation of the sacrament meeting attendance.
The church is slowly growing in the Indianapolis area. But its from move ins from out west. And I guarantee you that most of those move ins are day dreaming for the day they can return to the shadow of the everlasting hills.

Most (but not all) Utahns who move to the midwest spend an amazing amount of energy blathering about missing the mountains and returning back to the main collective.
I grew up in the area where the Mormon church is building the temple, and it was very heavily forested with 50' tall ash trees. My stake president once joked in a stake conference about teaching Utah immigrants about the color GREEN. It does become tiresome to hear constant blather about Utah.
