I've been a member of the church for about 6-7 months now, I've attended every Sunday service since I've joined and to my knowledge no one has ever really mentioned the prophet Mormon or his son Moroni- ya know the guys who actually wrote the book of Mormon on the set of gold plates and buried them into the Earth just before they both died during Sunday services and conferences someone always mentions Joseph smith and President Thomas S Monson and Jesus Christ but no one ever seems to talk about Mormon and Moroni When someone stands up to bear their testimony in front of everyone , they always say things like "I bear testimony that this church is true, I know President Thomas S Monson is the living day prophet, I know the book of Mormon is true, I know Joseph Smith restored the true church, I know Jesus Christ is our lord and saviour" no one ever says something like "I know the prophet Mormon and his son Moroni both wrote our holy scriptures on the golden plates and buried them before they died, I know that a long time after their deaths, Joseph Smith dug them up and translated them" no one ever says that- why not? to be fair, Mormon and Moroni have both been mentioned during some lessons and priesthoods but only briefly on occasion, the members of the chapel that I attend have shown me many movies produced by the church- most of them are about the life of Joseph Smith and the early years of the church and about Jesus Christ and when he visited America. I have never ever seen a movie about the life of Mormon. I swear, while I've been apart of the church, no one has ever mentioned Mormon or Moroni during a Sunday talk or testimony- ever! it seems to me these guys don't get nearly enough mention and credit that they deserve

Hi I'm Alistair, I live in England I have joined the mormon church and was baptized recently, one of my missionaries is a girl from Riverton, Utah. She's the same age as me (21) Shortly after I got baptized- literally like an hour afterwards, she came up to me, congratulated me and asked me if I've already thought about becoming a missionary. I told her I have thought about it and I would like to be one eventually but I found it odd how she just came out with the question, I didn't expect her to ask me that i've heard that lds girls are encouraged to date and marry only guys who are returning missionaries so it led me to wonder..... what do you lot think? any particular reason why she so bluntly asked me if I want to be a missionary soon? thanks
