* ClassicalAntiHero: Elder Price genuinely means well, but he's so naive and foolhardy that he can't get the time of day, much less get what he wants to come to pass. Price has convinced himself that he'll do "something incredible" that will make him the savior of all mankind, but his earnest attempts at spreading the Book of Mormon go nowhere, and he says ScrewThisImOuttaHere almost as soon as he sees how bad things really are in Uganda. When even that goes nowhere, Price is forced to eat a slice of HumblePie to overcome his flaws and hindrances to accomplish his goals.

* RageAgainstTheHeavens: "Hasa Diga Eebowai" is all about this. It translates to "Fuck you, God," and he says it "whenever something bad happens".

* BoyfriendBlockingDad: Of Nabulungi, which he makes clear during "Hasa Diga Eebowai". [[JustifiedTrope He probably has better reason to be this way than most examples of this trope]], considering the AIDS epidemic and genital-mutilating warlord running around (and the fact that he has AIDS himself), [[TwerpSweating but threatening to give Price and Cunningham AIDS themselves]] is still [[more than a little extreme.

Added DiffLines:

* ConditionedToAcceptHorror: He's constantly smiling and jocular, but definitely aware of the poor state of his town.
-->'''Price:''' Excuse me sir, but you should really not be saying that. Things aren't always as bad as they seem!

-->'''Price:''' But that's horrible!
-->'''Mafala:''' ''(cheerfully)'' I know!


Added DiffLines:

* NiceGuy: Threatening the missionaries with AIDS aside, he's a pretty friendly guy overall. He loves his daughter, is extremely welcoming to Elder Price and Elder Cunningham, immediately teaches them something from his culture, and invites them to share in "Hasa Diga Eebowai" even though he knows their problems aren't even close to as bad as his own.
