Evangelize me!

Our next door neighbors are young Mormon missionary boys.
I've been keeping tabs on them for a while and I count four.
Four bikes on the porch, four little helmets neatly in a row.

I have to admit I'm terribly intrigued by them. All I've heard of Mormonism is that they don't drink coffee, alcohol (of course), keep many wives on their farms back home -- and God lives on a planet and has sex with Spirit Ladies to create Souls.
They also got some revelatory stones but then they got taken back? (indian givers)
All this is too much for my curious little mind!

So I'm out to get proselytized.

I see them every day, shiny little faces, badges proclaiming them "elders" neatly pinched on their starched shirts; getting geared up to win the world one neighborhood at a time.

I try to look as sheepy as possible.

I smile and instigate conversations such as "Hi".

So far, my mission is not going well. They've probably seen my little balled belly and decided that I must be living in sin and already dammed to Hell-fhar! and Tarnation!

Aw shucks, say I. Maybe I should invite them over for coffee...

A Catholic priest, a Protestant minister, and a Mormon bishop were discussing when life begins.

"Life begins," said the priest, "at the moment of fertilization. That is when God instills the spark of life into the fetus."

"We believe," said the minister, "that life begins at birth, because that is when the baby becomes an individual and is capable of making its own decisions and must learn about sin."

"You've both got it wrong," said the bishop. "Life begins when the children have graduated from college and moved out of the house."

mormon undergarments!? those are the dang sexiest sleepwear I own!:D

so they DO know how to have a good time...

don't get me wrong here folks, I have absolutely nothing against mormons, seeing as I am so naive to their ways. they seem quirky but I'll be durned if people don't say the same about me.
I just want to get INSIDE. see what makes'em TICK.
I love me some diversity..

I like that one, Flo.

Ah.. but did you know that they wear those undergarments under their clothes, and not just at bedtime?

In their eyes you probably seem like a perfect addition to their wife collection due to your fair complection. You should ask them if they live "the principle".
