My uncle and aunt lived maybe half a block from the Los Angeles Temple. When you stepped out of their front door, you saw the golden Moroni (he backside...Moroni was facing East). When I was 18 and told my aunt that I had become a Mormon (they were never Mormons) she said, "Oh, honey! That's a mistake. The Mormons are such LIARS!" I said, "How dare you!" and left in the huff.
Years, later, she came to visit my mother in another state, and I was there, and it was Sunday and I was going to Church. She looked at my junky old car and said, "Oh, honey, you're gonna have to get another car. A better one. The Mormons won't respect you with a car like that!" I said, "They're not like that!"
I look back today, and I would say she was mostly "right". I was just about totally wrong.
