Working Sundays

I couldn’t help out with the play yesterday, it being Sunday. The Stage Manager came up to me today and asked why Mormons can’t do things like this on Monday. I found that question interesting because I had no idea anyone in the cast or technical crew knew I was a member of the church.

Anyhow, I told him Sundays to Mormons is like Saturdays to Jews.

Temple Desktop

A classmate noticed the desktop background image on my laptop is of the local temple. She asked me if it was the Mormon temple. It was a short conversation, but she knows I’m a member.

Family History

A classmate of mine started talking about Jean-Baptiste Landé, and I mentioned I have a lot of Jean-Baptises in my genealogy. We talked about family history for a bit.

Are you Christian?

Our instructor asked who among us was a Christian. I stuck up my hand. How can it get better than that?

Being Catholic

A classmate shared with me her story about becoming Catholic. I thought it was a good opportunity to mention I was baptized Catholic.

Seminary. Again.

I had another opportunity to bring up seminary, but this time to someone on the bus. We were talking about what time we get up in the morning, and she was surprised at how early I get up. I told her, I teach a  seminary class in the morning.

Compared to the last opportunity I had to bring up seminary, this conversation was more in-depth, but still fairly superficial.

Teaching investigators

I was asked to teach the elders quorum lesson today. It was on the Spirit World, and I think it went well. We had some visitors who were of another faith, and they asked some great questions. I enjoyed visiting with them after class (together with the ward mission leader) to answer some other questions they had.
