All my peeps will be conforming .... Because it's cool to be a mormon

The other day I was sat in the doctors waiting room rocking my mormon and proud hoodie when a woman asked me why I was a mormon. At first I was just impressed that she hadn't asked me if I was waiting to see a doctor .... This always seems to be the question most people ask in doctors waiting rooms and I've never understood why?? Why else would I be sat there???!!! Anyway, after I had gotten over the shock of the question I had to think of an answer and the only one I could think of was "because it's true and it's awesome" she didn't really know what to say after that!!!!
Part of me wished I had been a little bit more prepared for the question and could have maybe whipped out a BOM from my bag for her as a little bit of waiting room reading.. Unfortunately the only things in my handbag were my purse, keys and a lip gloss, none of which would have helped her understand the gospel Andy more than my original answer did!
After thinking about it however, I decided that I answered the question quite well. She didn't ask me what being a mormon was all about she asked me why I was one and my answer summed it up perfectly. I am a mormon because it is true and I know it is. I have no doubts about that. That is the main reason why I am a member of the church. The second part of my statement is also true. It is awesome. Being a mormon has given me so many blessing and special moments in my life, more than I can count. It has allowed me to really get to know my Heavenly Father and also myself. My membership works as a guide and a moral compass and it has provided me with some of the best friends I could ask for.
Being a mormon is by far the coolest thing you can be... The rest of the world just doesn't know it yet!!!!
