*Mutual Respect
Please remember that the young Mormon missionaries
that you see in black communities, in their dark suits and ties, white shirts
and black name-tags, riding on their
bikes, or walking, or riding the bus, are there to bless you and your family, and other black folks, with
the Gospel of Jesus Christ and His Priesthood. They are not paid, but
have sacrificed two years of their lives to bring these blessings to all who
will receive them; including black folks. Even if you don’t want to hear their
message, they deserve and need your respect, and they will always show great love
and respect to you; no matter who you are.
