You've likely seen these young men around the county. They wear suit jackets and ties, and they walk or ride bikes, even on the cold days. They wave at every passing car, and their smiles reflect genuine happiness.

I had the opportunity to meet some young missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints while attending a canning project with the Rotary Club last month. The young men were spirited and kind, and I was confused by how different they are than most young men their age.
