I do have a question, for any of the mormons on here that have done or are going to do a mission. Do you receive any training on approaching people and interacting with them, like using sidewalks and driveways, not cutting across grass, not riding bikes on sidewalks, etc.? Or does the church mainly teach you on the religious type stuff? Just curious because I know a lot of door to door salespeople and paid political streetwalkers oftentimes receive extensive ettiquette training prior to being released to the streets.
Lots of training
