I like being a Mormon. No matter where I go in the world, it seems, that there will be a place for me. There is a great many things that I like about the religion, and some thing that I don't like. However, I really like this willingness to be open and to accept people in general. I felt like I was reached out to both in Madrid and Edinburgh; I've realized that it's up to me to reach back, and even to make the initial move.
Practice, practice. Wow, this is becoming such a religious blog...
i suggest that you do a profile on mormon.org
ReplyDeleteyou sound interesting
For the things you don't like, I suggest determining whether those are actually part of the religion or simply part of the "Mormon culture". If any of it actually IS part of the religion, there's always prayer! ;)
ReplyDeleteAlso, i appreciate that aspect of being Mormon as well. You can pretty easily determine who is and who isn't a faithful practitioner of the religion by the way they treat "outsiders" or "newcomers".
