I'm not Mormon because I care about the truth.

Yeah, I was born and raised Mormon. Went on a 2 year mission to the Philippines too. I'm completely inactive in the church and haven't been since my mission ended.

Most Mormons who don't live in Utah and don't go to a university in Utah or one of the church's other universities don't stay active. It's a church for families. Young single people don't stay long.

The truth shall set you free.

Why didn't you form a family, user?

Because I don't live in Utah. Outside of Utah there are no singles wards except for large cities. If you don't live in the city you're out of luck, you'll never meet other young Mormons.
Any and all young people in the church move to Utah, those that don't are the exceptions.
I went years without meeting a single young girl who was a member. Going to church as the single RM in a family ward of kids and newlyweds and old people is fucking hell. That's why so many go inactive, they'd rather not go than deal with that.

Just a tip OP if you want to make a successful thread people appreciate a bit of effort, include content - ie your answer or view on the question you pose rather than just asking a question.

Not Mormon, but I came in possession of a book of Mormon. Inside it has a note/letter to the person who originally got the book from what I assume to be a missionary. Is this common practice or was someone just really trying to convert someone?

fpbp

Both, since really trying to convert someone is a common practice, silly.

Unironically God's truth.
