So, this is a totally random post I've always wanted to do. Us Mormons are always told we 'glow' and we just roll our eyes and laugh, because we don't actually glow. WE don't care if you ask us if we're Mormon or LDS and we'll probably even answer any questions you have, but it's probably not a good idea to start asking everyone you see if they're Mormon.
A lot of Mormons:
1. Are from Utah - Not all, so don't go asking all people from Utah if they're Mormon. (The three of us are from the Pacific Northwest, so just know that anyone could be a Mormon)
2. Have a lot of siblings/children (I have 5, Rat has 6, and Tiger has at least 3 [I'm bad at remembering young children]) at the same time, I know a lot of Mormons with only one sibling or even none.
3. Have been to one weird/unusual place (Tokyo, Paris, Switzerland,Etc.) and never been anywhere else. This is their Mission, which most young men and quite a few young women go on for 18-24 months in between the ages of 18-27.
Most Mormon:
1. Say really stupid scripture sounding stuff, like- Fiber of My Being, or Nourish and Strengthen , or (My personal Favourite) Go and Do.
2. Layer Clothing. A LOT. (Usually in the summer) If you see a tee shirt under a tank top, or leggings under shorts, they probably are Mormon, or have really bad skin.
3. (Women) Have a passion for something artistic (Photography, Drawing, Painting, Poetry, etc.) that they just do during their children's nap times. It's a sad reality that many young women get married and have kids during college, causing them to give up their dreams of their hobby. (Kudos to you if you can balance the two well.
There's a Good Chance their Mormon if:
1. They are two young (18-27) boys/men in suits riding Bicycles with Nametags declaring them as Elder "Insert Strange Last Name Here"
Those People you think are Mormon, who probably aren't:
1. It's Sunday and you see a nice looking family walking down the street, they are dressed in their Sunday best, The daughters in Dresses, the Men in suits, and The Mother wearing a nice dress shirt and pants. There is no official anything against it, but Women just don't wear dress pants on a Sunday. Not Mormon women anyway.
2. You are eating at a cute family friendly restaurant and see a family praying. I don't know what religion they belong to, but I've never met a Mormon who prays at a Restuarant, unless it's part of an event.
