I don't know, I guess things like Elizabeth Smart come to mind. Dad allows random people into the house and then that guy comes back later to break in. I'm all for teaching people, but I would hope that there is some good judgment and discernment in there too.

Do you allow investigators into your home if you have not met them previously?

I don't invite people into my home that I don't know ever.

That said, I think you were in a tough spot. Would be nice if those missionaries would have thought that through more.

Yeah, I'm thinking of texting them that they shouldn't do that again

That's exactly what you should do. It was a faux pas by the elders

I learned from the Elizabeth Smart case that my home is a sanctuary

I admit that I was dumb and naive as a young missionary. However,

Of course he was weird. That's who missionaries generally talk to.
