You guys even have Black Mormons? Funny I don't recall any Missions being done in Harlem when I was a kid? Did you guys skip us Ivy?
There's many black Mormons. And there's been missionaries in New York City, including Harlem, going back longer than any of us were alive.
I was with a lot of black Mormons down in Atlanta on my mission. Many of them were converts from black Baptist churches and what not. What was funny is, they still had some of their same habits like saying "Amen" when somebody was speaking or during a prayer. And the older women still wore those big hats.
I believe that Johnny Miller (golf) and Steve Young (49ers QB) are also Mormons.
Correct on both. Young, of course, played QB at BYU.
Are you saying Johnny Miller and Steve Young are also Samoan! Well today I'm really opening to new things!
I don't know how common knowledge it is among the general public but there are A LOT of Mormons from the Pacific Islands (Hawaii, Tonga, Samoa, etc), which were among the first places Mormon missionaries went to in the early days. Here in Utah, we have wards that are almost entirely Polynesian. If you look at the rosters of the BYU or Utah football teams, a good chunk of both are Polynesian.
Q: why do we know Jesus wasn't born in Salt Lake City?
A: you can't find three wise men or a virgin there!
I assume this joke is referring to many Mormon girls getting married relatively young, which is certainly true in relative terms. The average age is about 24. But in terms of "virginity," my guess is you'll find more girls who are virgins here in Utah than just about anywhere else, where premarital sex is the norm.
