Mormons like the ones who go to Willie Sherman

I wonder why they are called Elders in the book. Mormon missionaries are usually always young. Why is a word such as "elder" used?

Mister Dee said...

Maryclaire, it's because the Elders are ordained LDS ministers, so they have some influence over their congregation

For some reason they look so sketchy to me... I just don’t see why people feel the need to go door to door like the people who pester you to buy magazines but instead of selling useless stuff they a pushing some “life changing” religion on you. I have nothing against the Mormon religion I just don’t like the way its marketed.

We're going to have Mormon missionaries come to class in a few weeks to talk about what exactly the religion is all about, why they decided to be missionaries, and what their lives are like as missionaries. They won't be coming to sell their beliefs, but to help you understand them. You'll get the chance to talk to them and get all of these questions answered.
