Top 10 Things People say to Missionaries

An aside from the usual discourses, I want to mention some common things that people have told me (and perhaps other missionaries as well) while I went around talking to people, knocking on doors, and in every way, bringing the Restored Gospel to the people of SoCal.  Some of what they say (and maybe what you say if you're not a church member) kind of goes like this:

1. "I go to church."
2. "My Jesus is different from your Jesus."
3. "You look too young to be called "elders.""
4. "I already know who you guys are."
5. "Go preach to a non-believer."
6. "I have a Mormon friend!"
7. "Are you a Jehovah's Witness?"
8. "Why do you guys look happy all the time?"
9. "Not interested."
10. "Jesus lives inside you!"

Contrary to popular belief, we have feelings too.  The words we speak, no matter how much we stumble or stutter, is the truth.  We have a firm testimony of it.  You might just learn something if you listen!
