Introduction to my Blog
So here it is, blog number one. The reason I am writing this blog is to talk a little bit about how a piece of my life that is a little unique. Maybe not in Utah, but most other places. I live in a small community in the Wasatch mountains. My town has about 8,000 people, give or take. Even though there are 8,000 people, when you come in contact with people at church, the schools or just around the block it turns out 8,000 people is a relatively small number. Everyone knows everyone, and if they don't, they know someone who knows someone else. There is something nice about living in a small town, something that brings the community together. Oh there is one more thing I haven't mentioned. Most everyone is one religion. I bet you can't guess it. Surprise, we're Mormon! What I want to talk about is a day in the life of living in my town, and this is the essence of my blog. I hope you enjoy it!

Thank you for your posts. I have grown up in various places throughout the United States. Most of them were in areas without a particularly large mormon population. I now I am here at BYU, and the community is different. But, sadly, the same things I hoped to never encounter in a community with mainly Mormons are still there. Law of chastity problems, pornography, swearing, immodesty, rated R movies, etc. I have heard it put in two different ways. When you live in a mainly non-Mormon community, your non-mormon friends ask you to come drink and smoke and you easily say no. But in a Mormon community, your Mormon friends ask the same thing and it is much harder to say know. I am definitely interested to hear your experience growing up in a small mormon community.
