Mormons and Frankincense

I learned something new about mormons today. I am currently in Salalah, Oman. The hills around Salalah are one of three or four places in the world that Frankincense trees grow. My wife had asked me to look into bringing some home. I went to a street vendor this afternoon to enquire about purchasing some. Not many Americans come here so most everyone I meet assumes I am from Europe. The merchant began his sales pitch; after he told me the story of the baby Jesus and the wise men, he began to tell me about a small group of Christians in America, in Utah, called the mormons. He told me that Frankincense is very sacred to the mormons, especially during the Christmas holidays. One of the most meaningful gifts you could give a mormon is Frankincense. I had no idea.
