Mormon Missionaries: Full Joy & Disclosure

You're poking around your house;

going about your daily life--

washing dishes

folding laundry

tending to a child

paying bills

sweeping the porch

preparing a meal

you know, 

just-getting-through-the-day stuff,

when suddenly there's a knock at the door.

You weren't expecting anyone right then--

"Who's there?" you wonder.

You go to the door,

eye to the peephole,

and see two young people there--

standing tall,

smiling,

well-groomed,

and then scanning them on the other side of your door,

you see "it"--

the familiar black name tag.

Mormon missionaries.

Why are they standing at your door?

What are they selling? (fyi: nothing)

Will you answer the door?

Will you return their smile?

Will you invite them in?

It could be the best part of your day if you do.

Even if you don't want to know more about
what they're sharing

with folks on your street today;

mingling with lovely young people

even for a moment
is worthwhile.

I could tell you the answers to all of their questions--

but I think, I know you'd rather hear it from

a couple of actual missionaries

who are currently serving in the 

New York Rochester Mission!

They have begun a blog about their experiences

as sister missionaries--

it is as forthright as you would hope

about the daily-ness of life

as a Mormon Missionary.

They openly share what it's like to leave their "real lives" behind

and what all is involved in being able to wear

that black nametag

and invite questions about their experiences.

The name of their blog is called,

"Taking on Cumorah's Hill".

Go and visit these beautiful young women.

So the next time there's a knock on your front door,

and you peep through your door,

your heart will smile and feel warm

when you see two fresh-faced young people standing in front of you,

you'll know why they're there

smiling back at you.

Today you can get your own personal peek into their very unique world-
that of being a black-name-tag-wearing Missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Here is the invitation: Taking On Cumorah's Hill.
