We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.


OK. Honest question. One I could never reconcile as LDS, nor did I ever get a reasonable answer to.

Why do LDS missionaries mostly preach to those who live in Western culture (and are at least nominally Christian) rather than to those who have NEVER heard of Christ (Africa, the Middle East, Asia)? Why do they preach of the “apostasy” if they believe they should “allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may”

And I am not talking about the “go out two by two”. I am asking why they choose to witness to those who have heard of Christ.

You are not completely correct. We go and witness wherever we can. Our growth rate in Africa is pretty phenomenal. South and Central America are also growing quickly.

One of my sons is currently in Canada. I would not have been surprised if he had been called anywhere in the world.
