Visited Temple Square. As a minor declaration of religious side (plus to deflect proselytizing) wore a kippah. Absolutely undeterred, was pounced on by two effusive sister missionaries and given a guided tour. Such a sense of smiling but steely mission. Impressive, all of it.pic.twitter.com/cYjNVhR4in

Always undeterred. That's the word. When I lived in Vegas, I had a BBQ at my house at which my parish priest was present. The missionaries showed up. He answers my door. I had to admire the balls of two 18-year-old kids trying to convert a 65-year-old Catholic priest.

Growing up in Taiwan those mormon missionaries would bike around the city knocking on any door trying to convert people. Most answered the door just to practice English only to find out they speak perfect mandarin.

I've never met a Mormon I didn't find genuinely warm and friendly. If I had to pick a favorite religious stereotype, I'll take the Mormons every time, hands down.pic.twitter.com/8RmpprjyvW

Oh you thought believing in something else would deter them? Mi hermano, that’s the whole point
-
Oh yes. What would deter most, was clearly an attack vector. "So...why did you convert to Judaism?" Kids, and whatnot. "Part of what we loved about growing up in the church was having a community and a set of values...." BAM! The sale was well-refined.

I did the same thing earlier this year -- everyone was so, so, so friendly. It was almost unnerving
-
Yeah. Otherworldly.
