often times members of the Church will have standing invitations so that local missionaries can easily meet with you in the home of a member that lives near your home. It's also a great way to get fellowship with an existing member of the church. If you can't get ahold of the missionaries, just get the phone number of the ward mission leader.

So... They came again today but my Mom was home. She wouldn't let me come out and talk to them and she stood outside and tore them apart again. Also, she convinced them that I don't really want to talk to them and they should not come back... and they said they wouldn't "bother" us again! NOW What!

There's always the phone - do you have a cell phone? Contact them by phone and tell them not to go to your parent's house but make arrangements to meet at a member's house. You are an adult, right RachelAnne? You must have an adult conversation with your family, especially your Mother. If your parents have certain rules regarding their house you must follow them, but if you can come to some "mutual respect" arrangement, then these moments might be avoided. Hope things work out.

Wait, I think I know you! I'll PM you and you can have them meet you at my house, if you like!

Please let us know if you were able to meet with the missionaries and how it went.
