5 months? Every Mormon kid I’ve ever known goes on a two year mission. Why was Romney’s so short?

---

He was talking about 5 months in one specific city. Missionaries get transferred around every few months. Mitt was on an LDS mission for 29 months total in various parts of France.

As we don’t know the specifics of the other areas, the article is misleading.

This series of articles from the Boston Globe (from 2007) goes into a lot of detail about the specifics of Mitt's mission in France.

Parts 1 and 2 are pretty interesting.

The article is misleading

Yup, and one of the most mis-leading headlines you can get. Funny what bias does to people.

Huh?

As we don’t know the ANYTHING about LAMANITES or other tribes mentioned, the BoM is misleading.
