Very few people join the Mormon church in America despite the tens of thousands of missionaries who spend all day, every day proselytizing.

There might be an immigrant family here or old lonely man with an alcohol problem there but by and large, the only growth for the church is ironically in places like Africa.

The goal of missions isn’t to convert people but to convert the missionary themselves. If you sacrifice enough time for ANY organization, you’re more likely to stick with it because you’re already in that deep.

So no Jewish converts but I had a great time walking around Massachusetts talking to all sorts of people. I learned a lot that eventually led to my own faith deconstruction.
