Mormons rule. Pass it on.

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

I’ve been a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Later-day Saints my entire life. You know, the Mormons (or “LDS” or “Saints). I grew up in Utah, surrounded by others of my same faith. What I’m saying is that Mormonism is very normal to me, and also very important to me. Most of [...]
