Super interesting.<BR/><BR/>Your video was hilarious so my husband and I watched some of your dancing videos. Good thing we had seen this one first or we would have been like, "What is THIS?" and turned it off. But since we sorta knew you we laughed and laughed.<BR/><BR/>People in all religions believe that small children have stronger spirituality.

I asked them if I was frustrating to talk to since it's like I'm so close to being *interested*. They said it was nice to talk to smart people for a change. That made me laugh.<BR/> <BR/>I really do sincerely appreciate their mission and their belief.

Having been a Mormon missionary in Romania, let me personally say thank you for welcoming these young men into your home and feeding them a great meal. Because of time constraints and being so young, missionaries don't typically good very well for themselves. I know I always appreciated a good meal, so let me say thanks on their behalf.<BR/><BR/>Also, thanks for being sincerely engaged. No matter the outcome, having someone listening to you so as to understand (even if disagreeing) actually makes you guys relatively rare. Most missionary teaching encounters are with people who simply want to be combative, who just want to get the visit over with and get you out of their house, or who are looking for a handout. Because there is no way to know ahead of time who will listen and who won't, missionaries take every appointment they can. You guys should be rightfully proud of being one of the rare ones who are actually interested in understanding them.<BR/><BR/>So thanks for being genuine and gracious to them. A mormon mission is a long, hard, but irreplaceable experience. Encounters like this are what make it worthwhile.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06690700294876458688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970661341243634764.post-29111311920813651712008-11-05T23:56:00.000-05:002008-11-05T23:56:00.000-05:00Definitely the funniest missionary encounter story...Definitely the funniest missionary encounter story I've ever heard.
