One thing that was interesting was that something like two or three times a week, they would make pancakes in their office (at least, they smelled like pancakes). I was tempted to go down and ask if I could contribute to their pancake supply fund in exchange for pancakes.

In my experience Mormons are pretty generous. They might have just given you pancakes for free.

Probably. The head of the mission was a retired couple who I always got along quite well with.

Hi yall,
I spent the holiday with my family....I have a cousin who was raised Mormon but left the LDS church a long time ago. He told me that when he was growing up the Mormon Church and/or Utah tried to ban chocolate because of caffeine.It blew my mind.I dont know why they think Jesus would care about chocolate use.


I kind of like the Mormon vibe, the men turn up in groups at my doorstep in such crisp uniforms and carry that "perfect" look. I read the mormons don't really ban caffeine but persuade members to avoid hot drinks. the 7th day Adventists also avoid caffeine but take things further banning meat and ice-cream.
