Seminary

Was talking to a classmate about being tired and mentioned I have been up at 5:00 every morning this week. When she asked why, I mentioned I was using the extra time to study and teach. When she asked what I taught, I told her I taught Seminary.

Presenting Mormonism to the class

In class today, we were split into three groups ,each discussing either Catholicism, Mormonism, or Protestantism. When the teacher asked for volunteers for people to lead the groups, I volunteered to do Mormonism, and used it as a chance to announce to the class I was Mormon. Our group talked about various aspects of Mormonism for about half an hor and then presented our discussion points to the class.

Islam and Word of Wisdom

I was having a conversation with someone today who asked me if I drink coffee from a popular coffee shop. When I told him no, he asked if I don’t drink coffee from there or if I don’t drink coffee at all. I told him I never drink coffee. When he asked why, I told him it was because of my religion. It gave us a chance to talk about the Word of Wisdom and Muslim dietary laws (he is Muslim).
