Years ago I had particpated on a parenting board and one day I suddenly got an e-mail from someone even though I hadn't been there in a long time. In my profile, I had included my favorite quotes from LDS leaders and she was writing to say it was the most beautiful thing she had ever read. I thought that was really nice. She also said she was telling everyone on the board that they just HAD to read my profile.
Then I noticed her e-mail address contained the words "given grace" and I thought, "I wonder if she noticed the part of my profile that says I'm LDS?" I figured she was Evangelical and I don't typically run into Evangelicals who are very thrilled about my beliefs.
Moments later, she wrote again to say she just read I am LDS and said, "I love you even though you are Mormon."
Thank you?
Then she was very surprised that all the quotes were LDS ones and she learned she had a lot of misconceptions about our beliefs. But that didn't stop her from asking me a million bagillion more questions.
