Susan Powell went missing on Dec. 7, 2009. Her husband, Josh, claimed he had taken their two young sons, ages 2 and 4, out for an impromptu camping trip — in a blizzard — in Utah’s West Desert.

Police suspected Susan’s husband, Josh Powell, had murdered her from the very day of her disappearance, but they never arrested Josh. Instead, deputies, detectives and federal agents pursued Josh for more than two years, believing time was on their side.

Then, on Feb. 5, 2012, Josh killed himself and the boys, Charlie and Braden, by setting fire to a home he’d rented in Graham, Washington.

In May of 2013, police in West Valley City, Utah declared the case cold.

Susan’s body has never been located, and the truth of what happened to her on Dec. 7, 2009, has never been uncovered.

I am not a Mormon. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

I am not a Mormon. I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Nearly 200 years ago, when the church was organized, detractors called members “Mormons” as an epithet. The reference was to our belief in the Book of Mormon, a book of scripture which testifies of Christ, in addition to our belief in the Bible.

This book is a highly entertaining and insightful inside look at the lives and lexicon of the everyday missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. My documentation and commentary cover the gamut of slang terms, phrases, subculture and folklore known exclusively (until now) by these hard-working disciples. The book will open the memories of the hundreds of thousands who have already passed through these ranks, while honoring the current missionary force who are still steeped in the vernacular.

As an “R.M.” myself, it is a matter of great personal pride that the good-natured, inventive, uniquely humorous, and highly efficient “Mormon” missionary vernacular is preserved and celebrated in this volume.
