Knock on the door,and i see two young guys standing outside.I wonder why two guys are knocking my door at this time in the evening.Opens door,says hello,are you selling something?
Them: No sir,we ar mormans.(in a rich American accent).
Me: Well i am a muslim,but since you are here all the way from across the pond,i will listen to you,go on enlighten me.
Them:_____________...(gone silent,and looking at each other,confused).
Me: I hope you dont expect me or anybody to convert to Mormanism on your first visit,and for that reason it shouldnt matter if i am from another religion.
Them: No sir we dont expect that(once again went silent).
Me: Well then,tell me what you beleive in,and are you the guys who dress up like the 19th century farmers?
Them: No sir those are the Amish people.(and then tells me about morman beleifs).
Me: (Thats better,at lest you are speaking )
Them: Nice to meet you sir,do you know anyone who wants to know about mormans?
Me: (Good question) I dont know many people who want to know about religion in general,and in that context i dont know anybody who will be really waiting for you guys,but since you are on a missio,,try knocking a few doors,and dont mind people being rude to you,and i wish you best of luck.
Them: (Now smiling) Thankyou so much sir,hope you will enjoy the rest of your evening.
Me: same to you my friends,and i do appreciate your visit and the fact that you are participating in a positive activity instead of Drugs and other activities which most youths would prefer at your age,consider yourself lucky.
Them: (Now have a big smile),shakes hands and goes away.
Me: Shuts the door,and comes in feeling better for encouraging two young men on continuing a healthy activity.
(Oh well,they wont say they met some rude and unwelcoming people on their visit to Britain
)

Well done you although I expect the opening silence was due to them being stumped. They don't usually get that far!!!!!!!

i remember a few years ago walking home from asda with a weeks worth of shopping, 2 kids in tow and stressed to the gunnels, i swear those mormons jumped out and asked if i had been to asda. What a stupid question to ask a stressed out hormonal woman......won't tell you my answer

I suspect the initial silence was because they were stunned that you hadn't shut the door in their faces - quite right too, good for you for letting them speak x
