Two Mormon missionaries knocked on my door today and they were seemingly pleasant, smiling young men around 19 years old, who introduced themselves as "elder," even though I'm 10 years older than they are. I reluctantly let them in and they started off with some small talk to break the ice. I indicate that I've had a long, exhausting day, hoping that this sends a message that I would prefer their visit to be short. But instead, one of the guys comes up behind me and starts massaging my neck and shoulders, noting all the while that he can feel that I'm tense. He massaged me for almost 5 minutes and I'll admit that it felt good, but I kept thinking: isn't this a bit strange? Is it normal for Mormon missionaries to go to your home and give you a back rub? Is this how they try to become more familiar, friendly and eventually get you to join their church?
