Chances are you've met one of us...

Although, really and truly your chances shouldn't be that good.
You see
Sorry, about that. Years ago my mother-in-law gave me a cassette tape that my husband used to listen to as a kid. It had all kinds of funny cheese ball songs on it--that I loved, as cheese ball as they were. And one of those songs sang the above quote.
 
Anyway--
It seems everyone on this earth can say they've met a "Mormon", aka a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Even though of the 7 billion people on this earth our church members make up 14.1 million, which means we only account for .02% of the world.
(Are you impressed with my math skills??) 
 
Still, you've probably met one, right?
 
And that impression often makes people's impression for the whole church. But really, we're just people. Happy people, sad people. People who make mistakes. People trying to do their best.
We're all different with one great big thing in common.
And it's a good thing.
Still, deciding how you feel about a community, about14.1 million people based on one person's impression doesn't seem to work all the time.
 
There's a lot to know. A lot to learn. And if you want the low down--the real low down, not what your neighbor's, cousin's, dog walker thinks about the LDS church click here: Mormonism, for pressure free info :)
