Meet the Mormon
Please get a hold of Brother Larson if you have any ideas for him. This is to help show people who were are and a little about what the gospel is about.
I don't want to feel that we skip ahead but I feel that it would be good if people are prepared to answer some of the particular questions that to outsiders, make us unusual. Some hot topics would be the history of the church with polygamy and why we did practice it and why we no longer do, the reason why we do not use the cross as a symbol, why we pay tithing and how the funds are used to build the kingdom, and how and why we attend the temple. These topics should only be discussed with reverence, after much prayer and study. It helps to be given some general answers to these questions to better prepare members to answer them. Although referring investigators to the missionaries is great, I hope each of us can gain a knowledge and testimony of these things as it is part of who we are. This is just my opinion that I wanted to share. I hope it helps.
