We live down the block from the lady missionaries' apartment. We encourage them to drop by when they need a break. My wife and I like to cook so we feed 'em here and load 'em up with doggie bags. Next week we're hosting a birthday party; I hope they'll drop by for a spell. They may not care to emulate my wife's dancing--she grinds it pretty good--but I hope they'll chill a bit.

I disagree with 95% of their act and have made it clear that dropping by uninvited is a no-no. But, you know, they're kids, far from home, speaking a new language, living in a new culture, pounding the pavement doing something that, as many of you have noted, is likely already stinging them with doubt and remorse. I like to think we're giving them a little plain ol' secular humanistic TLC. Maybe this will help them realize there's more to life than LDS.

Think it's very kind of you to look after them, they are kids and it's a tough thing they are going. Also think by showing/demonstrating that non Mormons are in fact nice, decent humans, it's good anti-apostate innoculation or perhaps anti-venom lol

If they get a dick-head MP, they might be told not to visit you since it's a "waste" of their valuable converting time.

The ability to be a dick-head is accentuated by elevation to MP-hood. Of course, any priesthood calling allows for dick-headedness...
