Try the story of Ammon.  He set a great example by serving the king very diligently while keeping his sheep.  The excellent service that Ammon gave to the king made the king want to listen to his message.  Eventually many people were converted as a result.\n(It's in the Book of Mormon, but I don't want to look it up right now.  Just look up "Ammon" in the Index, and you'll find it.)\nAnd I completely agree with destiney that it's not the missionary who converts people, it's the Holy Ghost.  Brigham Young taught this quite clearly.

That a girl, keep up the good fight. It's funny to watch people respond. They give you a link to a lying anti-mormon video, and expect that it will change your mind. Ha! People like that don't rely on faith. \n\nSome of those who make it their mission to attack the church believe that they are honest. They take the stand which they believe their conscience requires. There are many more, who feel that the Mormon church deserves their contempt. These people do not feel constrained to stick with the truth. Many misrepresentations and falsehoods are deliberately used if it achieves their objective of further discrediting the LDS church.\n\nMany people do not feel that a just God would allow some of the evils which are so prevalent. Or they may also question why a loving Father doesn't answer our questions in a more straightforward and direct manner. But they overlook the essential ingredient in the Plan of Salvation, that we need to choose for ourselves what is right. And that choice can not be too simple or we haven't actually chosen, we have simply picked the obvious. How we choose will be built upon faith that we are doing the right thing. Hugh B. Brown has said, "Man cannot live without faith, because in life's adventure the central problem is character-building--which is not a product of logic, but of faith in ideals and sacrificial devotion to them."\n\nI believe that the Lord continues to keep the information we have balanced. If the opposition is getting too strong then he will reveal additional knowledge that will build faith. If a testimony can be built only on logic, then he will allow the adversary to add some additional information to encourage study, soul searching and prayer. The type of knowledge we gain may also be geared to our level of understanding. The stronger challenges might come to those who have the stronger testimonies. There are those who have as their goal to present attacks against the church that will be stronger than the testimonies of those to whom they are speaking. It is my goal to provide an answer to those critics. Let us realize that the critics will be there, but we need to be balanced in our understanding. Many criticisms can actually build faith if they are correctly understood. With the information available we can either build faith or create doubt depending on the perspective we use to analyze the data.

Yeah you're right. The answers are pathetic. They pretend to know the things that they do not have any idea about. at least they should be polite and tolerant, sometimes they remind of the "christian" persecuters of the pioneers. haha :-) it's just funny why persecute us for our belief that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God and Savior of the world? Why persecute Joseph Smith for him telling that He spoke to God and the Son? Does not God answer prayers? or call his prophets anymore? Have miracles ceased? Have revelations and visions ceased? not with our church!!! Faithful and charitable and tolerant some of today's so called Christians are :-) We believe in Christ. full stop!!!

I think Mormons may be the nicest people I've ever met...I work for a Mormon and he is very kind.\n\nI agree that they are misled.  I feel sorry for the person I work for, he works so hard at doing all the things that the Mormon church insists you "have to do" to get to a certain "level" of heaven after you die.  He exhausts himself, he doesn't know that we are saved by grace, not our works.\n\nI think it's very sad that these wonderful people follow a false gospel (the Book of Mormon) and a false prophet (Joseph Smith)...I pray for their release from the false church of Mormonism, that they may become born again and have a personal relationship with the true Jesus Christ, the biblical Christ, not the Jesus of Mormonism.

We shouldn't just try to convert people. If you really want people to become a part of your religious group, or any other group, the best thing you can do is help them, and be nice to them. Make them say, "Wow, this is a great group of people. They're so loving and kind. I might like to be part of their group." The best way to introduce people to God's love and grace, is to show love and grace yourself.

I also have an argument....why is it that the Mormons did not allow African Americans to sit in their funky little churches until the late 60s, saying it was the word of God?  If what you claim is the word of God, why is it that one minute you make Him all powerful and the next you make Him change His word?  Why one minute African Americans are beneath you and the next you say that it is allowed for them to worship along side you.  The word of God dose not and I repeat dose not change with the times.

Ok, so the thing about Mormons is that they will put up with a lot just to get someone to convert. They are overly friendly and since most boys who are on a mission are still virgins, and well, still male, they can't help but have attractions, even to those that they are trying to "help". Maybe he did like you but my guess would be that he was disapointed that you didn't convert but Mormons are..well, determined and it takes a lot for them to give up. And as judgmental as they are sometimes, they don't give up on non-members either. They really believe in their mission and that they are doing the right thing and that there is hope for everyone. I'm sure he did get a little frustrated after you had attended and he wasn't getting through to you, but my guess would be that he still doesn't want to give up on you. I'm sure he was attracted to you and really hoped that he could covert you. That is the whole purpose of their missions. Maybe he was disapointed because he knew that he couldn't get to know you any deeper than he already does, because you are not LDS. And I'm not sure what to tell you as far as getting over him, because i'm not great at getting over crushes who are beyond my reach either. I am glad however, that you were unwilling to give up your faith just to make him happy. Actually, Mormons dislike it when people go to church just for them, which happens often. My friend who is a faithful Mormon has that happen a lot. Guys go to church with her a few times just so they can sit next to her and spend time with her. They feel even more disapointed about that then almost anything else, except maybe converting someone to their church. \n\nLastly, i want to say, I have noticed how many gorgeous Mormon boys there are and I know what it is like to crush on an LDS hottie. You are not alone in that. Just stay true to yourself and love God and your son and the guy that He has set for you, will come along and he will believe the same way you do and love your son....

When I went to Mexico for a missions trip in middle school with my youthgroup, we were encouraged to write letters to friends and family asking for any amounts that they could send and prayers. You could also write to members of your church that you are close to or even have the church post a bulletin to raise money for her to go. She could also (even the whole group) hand out flyers saying that she wants to do yard work, odd jobs, babysitting etc. for money for her missions trip. Three years is plenty of time to raise that amount of money.

I have just been researching the churh and the book.I think if you go to http://thebaldchemist.blogspot.com  you will find the answer.\nKeep questioning.\nAboriginals were not considered to be human by the early missionaries. Probably still dont.

The answers already given are good.  I agree that you need to know God's will and have his call.  My husband and I have served as foreign missionaries for 20 years.  With cultural and language differences, misunderstandings, ministry stresses, SOMETIMES the only thing that makes you not give up is your conviction that this is where God wants you to be and what He wants you to do.  On the other hand, knowing you are in the center of God's will and seeing how God can touch people's lives through you is GREAT!

NO! Especially not a mormon missionary.\nYou don't even know that he is interested in you...\nI love how you have changed your story to a "friend" or you have a cousin who is going to be a missionary.\n\nDrop your infatuation, its starting to sound a little crazy.

Let me share a sermon illustration with you that can be applied to any volunteer work and not just evangelism.\n\nThere was a man who went down to the beach after there had been a tidal wave and he saw another man already on the beach walking and picking something up and throwing it in the water. When he got closer he saw that there were tens of thousands of small silver fish that had been washed up on the beach and who were slowly dying.\n\nHe came up to the man just as he threw another fish back in the ocean and asked him why he was doing what he was doing since there were so many fish on the sand it was obvious he couldn't get to even one one hundredth of them before they died. He said to him "You're wasting your time. What difference is it going to make if you throw a few of these fish back in the water?"\n\nThe man answered him as he threw another one back in and said "to that fish there, it makes all of the difference in the world".\n\nSo it is with volunteer work. You can only help a few people but the help you give can make all of the difference in the world to those few people.

There is quite an elaborate and wonderful story that mormons relate about the native americans.  I don't know if they are right, but it sure is interesting and probably one of the kinder forms of christianity that I've seen.  You should read some of their stuff, it's not bad!\n\nbtw:  if they are right... I will be in the terrestial kingdom (third level heaven) with all my friends... picture bourbon street!\n\nNot a bad option!

mormons and jehovah's witnesses do it all the time. Occasionally others do it as well, but only as a last resort. generally its because the person has done somethingthat goes against the church's rules.

Hmm, the match is interesting, maybe we should all become Mormons, the only trouble is, I keep mis-reading it as morons, sorry, I don't want to upset anyone, it's just that my word eyes aren't too good.\n\nYes, I could, but no, I wouldn't want to.

AAHHHH someone who is using their brain. You are very correct. The Mormons have known this ever since the Gospel was restored in it's fullness. There is a purpose and a reason for why we are here. Some people get that and some don't.\n\nI think that you will find the following article facinating. It is rather long and I do apologize for that. It makes alot of sense, aspecially about why we are really here.\n\nThe Fall of Adam and Eve\nPurpose\n34603, Primary 6, 4: The Fall of Adam and Eve, Purpose, 13\n\nTo help the children understand the fall of Adam and Eve and to have a desire to return to the presence of Heavenly Father.\n\nPreparation\n1.  Prayerfully study:\n\n•     Moses 2:27–28—Adam and Eve are commanded to be fruitful and multiply.\n\n•     Moses 3:8–9, Moses 3:15–17—The tree of knowledge and the tree of life.\n\n•     Moses 4—The fall of Adam and Eve.\n\n•     Moses 5:9–12—Adam and Eve praise God and are glad for the Fall.\n\n•     LDS Bible Dictionary “Fall of Adam” (p. 670).\n\n2.  Additional reading:\n\n•     Gospel Principles, chapter 6, “The Fall of Adam and Eve.”\n\n•     2 Nephi 2:14–27—The importance of opposition.\n\n•     Alma 42:2–9—Spiritual and temporal death.\n\n•     Helaman 14:16–17—Christ redeems us from both deaths.\n\n•     Genesis 3—The fall of Adam and Eve.\n\n3.  Study the lesson and decide how you want to teach the children the scripture account (see “Preparing Your Lessons,” p. vi, and “Teaching from the Scriptures,” p. vii). Select the discussion questions and enrichment activities that will best help the children achieve the purpose of the lesson.\n\n4.  Materials needed:\n\na.  A Bible and a Pearl of Great Price for each child.\n\nb.  A Book of Mormon and a Doctrine and Covenants.\n\nc.  Four small, undesirable items—such as a bottle cap, twig, or wad of tissue—with string tied around each one; one small object to represent something of value (such as a ring to symbolize eternal life) with string tied around it; and a small bag or container (see the attention activity).\n\nd.  Pictures 6-2, The Garden of Eden; 6-3, God the Father and Jesus Christ; and 6-4, Adam and Eve (Gospel Art Picture Kit 101; 62461).\n\nSuggested Lesson Development\nInvite a child to give the opening prayer.\n\nAttention Activity\nPlace the objects you have tied with string into the bag or container so that the objects are hidden but an equal amount of each string hangs over the side of the bag. Ask a child to choose a string and pull an item out of the bag. Then replace the object and string, let another child take a turn, and so on. Show the class all the hidden objects, and explain the value of the desirable one.\n\nExplain that it is difficult to make a correct choice when we don’t know what we are choosing. Heavenly Father wants us to know good from evil so we can choose what is right. Tell the class that this lesson will explain how we were given the knowledge of good and evil and the ability to choose for ourselves.\n\nScripture Account\nTeach the account of the fall of Adam and Eve from the scriptures listed in the “Preparation” section, using the pictures where appropriate. (For suggested ways to teach the scripture account, see “Teaching from the Scriptures,” p. vii.) The following three points are the major ideas to be taught in this lesson:\n\n1.  The fall of Adam and Eve was foreseen by Heavenly Father and “was a necessary step in the plan of life and a great blessing to all of us” (Gospel Principles, p. 33). We accepted this condition in the spirit world when we supported Heavenly Father’s plan.\n\n2.  “Because of the Fall, we are blessed with physical bodies, the right to choose between good and evil, and the opportunity to gain eternal life. None of these privileges would have been ours had Adam and Eve remained in the garden” (Gospel Principles, p. 33).\n\n3.  After Adam and Eve “fell” from the presen
