Many Mormon families spend several years living abroad to perform missionary work for their church.
The history of the Mormon pioneers involves a long migration across the American West to escape persecution and establish a new settlement in Utah.
From the title of the chief work of Joseph Smith the Book of Mormon. Followers of his religious movement were called this since the 1830s. The title of the book comes from the name from the prophet who they believe compiled it, called Mormon, father of Moroni, and/or the Waters of Mormon mentioned in it. Various implausible etymologies have been proposed, usually in attempts to discredit or defend the Mormon faith.
Always capitalised. While widely used, many members of the faith now prefer the full name of the church or the term 'Latter-day Saint'.
