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 tracting) 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.

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 philippeans and also communist countries (cuba, china).

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

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.

Jesus is our Lord ans Savior. he's the Son of God and our brother. He atoned for our sins and died on the bypass basically so all and sundry might stay as quickly as greater. he's the middle and foundation of our faith. we don't think Joesph Smith to be like a God, even nonetheless he does maintain historical magnitude to us. We think him to be a prophet such as Abraham and Moses. We adjust to is revelation the equivalent that we ought to conform with the ten Commandments. we don't adjust to JS teachings, we adjust to the Lords teachings given to us by revelation by Joesph Smith. He like numerous different prophet of historical was an gadget of God, turning in guidance or perhaps repremand to His men and girls from God. He restored the gospel to the earth so beneficial there is plenty greater teahcings of him and his life and the arriving approximately of the restoration, even nonetheless Jesus Christ is what our church is predicated around and we try to stay via way of His teachings each historical and not too some time past found out. If it wasn't Joesph Smith it ought to were all people else. The Lord ought to have His church be restored with or wothout J.S. If J.S. was now no longer straightforward and desperate to deny what he knew to be precise, the Lord ought to have used all people else. His artwork is probable no longer stopped, it is not significant what the contest. As for Diasymae, relatively that they were continuously usual via fact the Church of Christ, even nonetheless further the latter day to tell apart themsleves later on an identical time as various distinctive churches had the equivalent identify. this will additionally be reported in any historic previous of the church each LDS documented and anti-mormon literature. desire that helped:)
