“Saw these two guys on their mission, from Lehi and Ogden!” Robyn Hayward wrote. “Utah friends can you help send to their families, they were so kind 😊 I told them to be careful about going into strangers houses after I told them to come inside 😆 🤦🏻♀️”
She also offered some advice for others who run into Latter-day Saint missionaries.
“If you see people on their mission be kind and offer them lunch or a conversation, they’re away from home for a couple of years serving so be friendly and kind at the very least! 💙,” she wrote.
Gordon Hayward spent seven seasons in Utah with the Jazz to begin his NBA career and was named an NBA All-Star his final year with the Jazz in 2017.
After joining the Boston Celtics following his time in Utah, Hayward joined his current team — the Charlotte Hornets — in 2020.
