Mormonism is a religion that was started in the United States, but that has spread to many parts of the world. The Pacific Islands are a part of the world where Mormonism has become very popular amongst the people that live there. Pacific Islanders have been drawn to Mormonism because of its beliefs and teachings, which emphasise family, hard work, and obedience to religious leaders. Mormonism also provides a sense of community, as there are many Pacific Islander members of the Church who share similar culture and values. Mormon missionary work in the region has been very successful, and many Pacific Islanders now subscribe to the faith.
