One of the skeletons in my family closet is that a great, great uncle of mine was converted by Mormon missionaries and immigrated to Utah (he was a Danish national). The Mormons told him that Mormonism was little different from Lutheranism. He learned differently in Utah. But the Mormons were strapped for labor and he had to essentially escape which he did by bribing an Indian tribe to smuggle him out.
He wasn't the nicest guy ever himself though, because he turned around and began making money smuggling arms to the Mormons to help them against the Indians that smuggled him out.
He sounds like a peach.
