To all Hispanic LDS members of r/Mormon: Why did a Hispanic member named Gabe "Moon-yes" (surname altered) decide to conceal what church he was from when I didn't remember which church he came from?

 

To all Hispanic LDS members of r/Mormon: Why did a Hispanic member named Gabe "Moon-yes" (surname altered) decide to conceal what church he was from when I didn't remember which church he came from?

One time, I delivered to Gabe's house for my job, and he said he knew me "from church." Since I hadn't been to his church in a long time, I didn't remember which church anymore, so I asked "Which church?"

Why did "Mr. Moon-yes" tell me "You're Good!" When I asked for a reminder of which church he was from?

Months later, I got strongly invited by a pair of LDS missionaries to come to their church that Sunday, so I did because like usual, they were hard to say no to, then I saw my Hispanic customer again when I attended that day.

So when I genuinely couldn't remember what church Gabe was from when I was delivering an order to his house, why did he choose not to remind me which church it was?

Is it typical for Hispanic LDS members to not remind others that they're from the LDS church when they haven't been back in a long time, long enough to forget which church they were from? Or will any LDS member of any ethnicity be like this?

Its not just a Hispanic thing, the church teaches all members to vaguely withhold information from delivery drivers. There is a well known story in the church about the time Joseph Smith made an Uber Eats driver cry
