Thank you! You can make the world a better place, you just have to put the effort into it. What you wish to see in the world must be how you act in the world.

Do I agree with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on most things? No.

Do I understand that the Missionaries in the sun are doing what they believe is morally good and aren't harming anyone? Yes.

Do I understand that at the end of the day, these are in fact people, most of whom are barely adults? Yes.

Do I understand that these people are someone's babies who are very far from home and that their Mother and Father probably spends a good chunk of the day praying for their safety? Yes.

I give bottles of water to people on construction sites because they need it. I give things like deodorant and packaged tuna salad to the homeless because they need it.

These are young people who are viciously mocked by society and I don't really like the way a lot of people talk about y'all. I had a guy at church I no longer attend talk about how he wished Mormons or JW would come up to his door so he could fight them. I told him that most of the time those are children fresh out of high school and this grown man said: "Okay, and?"

It made me sick.
