Be kind to the door knockers...

[Justin Kirkham]

I just got my mission call, and I will be heading to the Denver area ((This also includes southern Wyoming, and Nebraska.)) So for everyone that lives there, please be nice if some guys in black suites knock on your door. I understand that it is annoying for some, but at least try... because it could be me knocking on your door. Anyway, I just thought that I would post it up here, because I am a little confused and bewildered by it all. My girlfriend lives in Salt Lake City, so usually they would have sent me further away, since girlfriends usually try to hunt their guys down. Also, my parents, as well as my girlfriend, will be travelling through my mission area at least a few times a year. I don't know... while I filled out my forms saying that I didn't care if I was sent foreign or not, I kinda had my hopes up... I just kinda feel like I have been crushed down a little, ya'know? Maybe that is why I need to go to Colorado for my mission? Humility is something I've yet to learn.

I had a friend that went to Venzula for 2 years on a missionary. He has some cool stories from there... he got stabbed and robbed a couple times too. Have fun! Colorado is a pretty fun place. When do you leave?

Do you mind if I ask what religon this is?

Jahovas (sp?) witness? We pull the blinds and hide when we see guys in white shirts and ties walking down the street.

Probably Mormon.. thats what my friend is, and theyre kinda known as door knockers, with all due respect.

I leave August 18th, and I am very excited about it. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, also known as Mormons. Yes, my church is known as the door knockers. Jehovah's witness, the only other that does, has about 1/15th the missionaries of my church, give or take. 95fbirdkid, that is fine, I use to do that same thing. I don't ask that you all let me in and talk about religion and get baptised, but no gun-waving would be nice. =) Is anyone on this board from the area I might be in?

jehovas witnesses are very respectable. i would feelbetter about them coming too my house when i was alone then some jackass selling clocks. or something else shady.

btw, my wife and family are jehovas witnesses. i show them total respect for what they believe in and what they do. and i respect that they try too bring there beliefs too others.

I'm sure we can find something to laugh at you for. How much of a lesson do you want [img]smile.gif[/img]

on a serious note, my best friend is mormon. She told me that you cant just go door to door. you have to be referred.

I've never understood why most mormons go to Utah. Doesnt seem like that cool of a place. And its close to the city of sin?!?!? I've been there, now Vegas.. thats a city, boy!

Visit it sometime. Utah has some of the most amazing national parks that you'll ever see. It's no wonder they wanted to settle there.

I like trees. As for the mormon thing, I'm not into it, but it's not my life. Good luck with it though. it's much better than going around killing people. I bet Colorado is lots safer than central america, and I doubt you will get stabbed.

I've been brought up in the Mormon religion. I was born in Salt Lake City. Utah is only about 45% mormon now, and it is still dropping. I would love to live in Utah for all the outdoor activities. I like it here in Cali better though.

Congrats Justin... How old are you?

I never went on a mission, I kinda stopped goin to church when I was about 18.
