Default Is Mormonism practiced outside of America?

Are there Mormon temples in other countries, and do non-Americans practice it?

Yes. I had a Mormon friend back in England and they used to come round door to door on Saturday mornings like the J-Witnesses.

There's one in Hawaii, and the man at the entrance almost had a heart attack when I asked him if I could enter. Next time I will just walk in when no one is looking and find out what goes on in there.

It originated in America, but naturally, missionaries traveled to other countries to spread their weirdo religion.

I am Mormon. Yes, it is practiced outside of America. At our last General Conference in April it was announce there are 12.5 million Mormons. There are now (and have been for several years) more Mormons outside the US than inside the US. There are over 112 temples, many of which are outside the US.

And to clear up some potential confusion by some who have already posted answers to this question, we do have missionaries, and they do knock on doors, but not just on Saturdays. Most missionaries have a day off (where they don't make any appointments or go tr acting) on Mondays, but it could be different in your area but it's not likely.
Also, we're not a cult, we just practice Christianity differently than any other form of Christianity. Those who think we are a cult are not well informed. Ask a co-worker if they know a Mormon and if they do they will probably tell you their friend is very nice and very family oriented. Anyone who takes the time to get to know a Mormon neighbor or co-worker soon realizes we are not cult members, even if they don't agree with our beliefs.

The book of Mormon is printed in over 10 languages. Does that answer your question? If not, there are over 16 million members--they don't all live in the u.s.

There are Mormon congregations in most of the world. Areas that they're not commonly found in are heavily Muslim areas (Muslims have been known to kill family members for converting to other religions) like North Africa, the middle east, and southern Philippians and also communist countries (Cuba, china).

Outside of those areas, you can find Mormons pretty much anywhere.
