Living the gospel effectively counters anti-Mormonism

I am blessed to live in “convert land.” Less than 1 percent of the population of my home state, Alabama, is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Because of the small numbers, my chosen religion exercises little influence over my community’s environment. Approximately 90 percent of the members in my Mormon ward are converts, and a high proportion of those are relatively recent converts. In most respects, our religious experiences, internal and external to the ward, would have more in common with an LDS congregation in 1840 Nauvoo, Ill., than with an LDS congregation in 2011 Provo, Utah.

Where were you on 9/11?

Five years ago, I stood at Ground Zero in New York City. While attending the Memorial Museum, the magnitude of the calamity enveloped me. There are walls of postcards with thousands of written accounts from people all over the world. My personal story seems trite compared to others. Nonetheless, I believe that each individual’s experience on Sept. 11, 2001 serves as an eye-witness against the evil targeted at America.My morning began as usual, watching the news while getting ready for work. The breaking bulletin of airplanes crashing into New York City’s Twin Towers was mind-boggling. I had to force myself to get ready for teaching preschool.
