1. I’m hoping it was one of your kids that asked that…?

4. I can understand the confusion. When we were little, we knew that we belonged to the “one true church.” Then we moved… and started going to a different church.

   I mean, yeah, my parents knew that it was “the same church,” but for us as kids, the “one true church” meant the church building we attended. We had no context for any other interpretation.

   So, I suppose I think the question is quite pertinent for a child.

5. I grew up in Oregon and every time we had missionaries over for dinner my dad would ask them if the Church was true in ______ (insert name of city where they lived, often a city in Utah.) I was a little confused over that when I was younger, but as I grew older and he continued to do that I understood what he meant and would get a kick out of their initially confused looks and responses of “Yes, sir, it sure is.” Good to know it’s true everywhere.

6. When I was young, my parents contemplated moving a whole four blocks to a bigger house. I was horrified. It meant moving from the South Ward to the North Ward. I honestly thought we were leaving the church!

7. This post was shameless linkbait for Mormon Archipelago readers who live in Arizona. I feel betrayed.

8. The other day I actually saw someone with a bumper sticker that said “Gordon B. Hinckley is my president”. I’ve never seen that before. It was in Portland, OR of all places.
