Mormons in the hood

I saw a funny scene today. At least I think it is a funny. My current client is certainly not in the best part of town. In the year I have been there we have had 3 cars stolen from the parking lot, a couple of muggings, a couple of fights on the side walk out side the premises, the cops are routinely in the area talking to or picking people from the neighborhood up, and we even saw a guy in a van get busted for selling counterfeit or stolen toys last Christmas. I personally always make a point of parking in the fenced in area and not leaving alone if I stay past dark. Though this second project is much further from where most of the trouble is.

So today on my daily drive from the client back to the hotel through the hood, I saw what I thought was a funny site – two Mormons out doing their door to door gig. While I have to admit I don’t know much about Mormons, I do know that they are all required to go on a mission at one point or another. A lot of times this includes going door to door to talk to people about there belief. I assume this is what they were doing, I have to think these two may have been better off if they had gone to a third world country than this part of Milwaukee. They were quite the site both with the black name tags, back packs, black pants, black tie, and white short sleeve pressed button up shirt. So while I admire their dedication to their religion I don’t know if what they are doing is the smartest thing.

So anyway I guess I just chalk this up to funny things that I have seen.
