Mormon nonsense seems particularly incongruent with the values of these societies, and tithing seems nearly incompatible with their economic system (high taxes, high cost of goods and services). I can't imagine anyone ever converts...
And yes, I froze my ass off. Coldest place I've ever been in my whole life. And winter tends to last around 6 months, longer if you're above the Artic Circle.
And virtually no conversions. They just weren't interested in our "message". Good for them.

Old Norwegian guy I knew said "Rowing those long ships was hard work. They wouldn't go to all that trouble to drag back the ugly ones."
On my mission they told us we had to teach the discussions word for word, exactly as approved by the First Presidency. The approved question to ask someone to be baptized didn't translate into Estonian very well, this is how it came across: Will you follow the example of Christ, by being baptized from the direction of someone, who has the power of God's priesthood? The investigator would invariably ask: What was that again? At which point we could say: Will you be baptized? No wonder we didn't have any success.
