When I was in Perth last October, my partner and I were waiting in the car, in the carpark, and we saw and were approached by American Mormons on a mission lol. They tried to convert us, we politely declined and they left. They were two young women, maybe barely 18-21?, and there was an older man close by keeping an eye on them, I assume like a chaperone.
It was very strange. I didn't think they came to Australia, I thought their missions usually involved going to the global south, not the actual south lol
That's so funny. Reminds me of the Book of Mormon musical. I still have to go see that
