“There will of course be proselytizing, but I’m not sure how aggressive it would be.”

I’m not so sure there would be any. While I’m not Mormon, I grew up in an area with a large LDS population. They’re good people who generally walk the talk. I think they also realize that one of their strongest proselytizing tools is to simply live their beliefs.

Amen. No matter if their beliefs are true or false, living one's beliefs faithfully in the midst of adversity is the strongest witness one can make for their own faith.

"The church is to be a loving church in a dying culture. How, then, is the dying culture going to consider us? Jesus says, "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." In the midst of the world, in the midst of our present culture, Jesus is giving a right to the world. Upon His authority He gives the world the right to judge whether you and I are born-again Christians on the basis of our observable love toward all Christians."
- Francis A. Schaeffer, The Mark of The Christian, quoting John 13:34-35
