The Mitt Romney Effect on Mormon Mission Curiosity
In light of Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign, Jason F. Wright reflects on his two-year mission for the LDS Church. At The Deseret News, Wright describes his mission to Brazil, where he says, “I’d never worn through soles before, but before I left Brazil, I was sticking surplus pamphlets into my shoes to protect my feet.” Writes notes, “If Romney’s mission [to France] was like mine, he learned to face hate and rejection. Doors were closed and hearts slammed shut.”
