We love living in the conservative Christian south, since moving here one of the questions we are FREQUENTLY asked is, "so ya'll have a home church yet?" When we tell people that we belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (which by the way is a mouth full we have learned) the reaction is something along the lines of, "well that's real nice, I voted for Mitt Romney".
Today was a little different, we had a baptist minister and his wife stop by, they were inviting us to some event at their church tonight, while talking he asked where we go to church, and boy oh boy he could just not hide his emotion from is face. It was like he wanted to ask me to tip my head down so he could check for horns. And just because I am sure he wanted to be wrong, he stuttered as he asked if it was in fact the mormon church right around the corner from theirs. I politely informed him that yes indeed he was right. He uncomfortably offered the invitation to join them tonight again,
I'm not thinking he got the message Billy Graham said we are not a cult.
