It is very rare for Amish people to convert to Mormonism, which is why it is so celebrated when it happens.
Same for Jewish converts to Mormonism.
Yet it is quite common for Mormons to convert to Judaism in Salt Lake City. On average its membership is made up of 1/4 former Mormons who converted to Judaism.
The rabbi told my grandmother and I the same thing when we visited there in 1973, before Congregation B'nai Israel became Kol Ami.
My friend who spent 15 winters there to ski said there were ongoing conversion classes for Mormons who were leaving Mormonism for Judaism on a regular basis.
It's been happening for as long as there has been a Jewish Congregation in Salt Lake City.
