His parents are missionaries in Panama.

This always fascinates me.

With all the social problems we have in this country which could use a
good dose of old time religion, why do missionaries have to go to
another country to help and do good works? Why not the Bronx or East
LA or American Indian country? Why Central America or anywhere else
for that matter?

It's like adopting Asian babies - I don't get that either. There are
lots of kids here in the states, in particular older ones, that can
use good parenting and a good home, yet people insist on adopting
Korean, Chinese and East Asian Indian children. What's the point?

I just don't get it.


The Mormon's send missionaries to the USA. My nephew went to the Navaho
Indian reservation region.



I know and they do really good work.



I've got a cousin who ended up in that religion. I'll send him down to
see you. Says he's some kind of priest?? and is involved in their
genealogy program.
I made it clear not to try preaching to me.
