Is it a smiling girl, holding origami shirts, with only half painted nails?
(A conversation I have had many times in the past 16 months.)
"Have you ever seen those guys with the white shirts and ties riding around on their bikes?"
"Yeah, the Mormons!"
"Yep! Well, we're the girl version."
On another occasion a woman asked me, "where are the guys on the bikes going?? and why are they always dressed up so nice?.....am I allowed to talk to them?"
Maybe a universal question is what do missionaries do?
As a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints....
We leave our homes, social life, and schooling and spend 18 to 24 months serving God. We knock on doors, try to talk to everyone, we teach about God, we help people change, we serve our community, we strive to forget ourselves, we have awkward experiences everyday, we make fools of ourselves, we don't watch TV or go to movies, we are changed, we love strangers, wear skirts everyday, and we experience the highest highs and the lowest lows as we invest all of our time and energy into helping ourselves and helping others put God first.
The list could go on and on, but if you really want to know more...contact me!
Also this website has an even better explanation.
