This is obviously just my experiences and opinions, but I didn't know any Mormons until I was 20, and now I live in North Zion.
The Mormon missionaries I've come in contact with have all been lovely people. They obviously have a "mission" but I make it clear right off I'm happy with my religion and I'm not interested in changing. The sister and brother missionaries have always respected that, but I can't say the same for the members of Campus Crusade for Christ. I've had them help me bring in my groceries, pick up stuff I've dropped, shovel snow, help random people on the street with loading vehicles or even moving boxes and furniture in to truck or homes, and just be nice people. If you're driving around in your car they will wave and give you a smile. They've come to my church for events and not proselytized, and even though it isn't my religion, I have respect for people who have devotion to their faith enough to go out in the world and be the victims of harassment and ignorance.
Also the LDS community prepares for disasters and stocks up on food and other supplies. They were handing out food and water in New Orleans before the government was. Sure they are ultraconservative and I take issues with some of their beliefs and the role of women, but in my community they operate as good Christians. I know if there was a death in my family or my house burned down the LDS people I know would welcome me into their homes and feed me, even if I never converted.
