MormonsMadeSimple.com




My sister Anna passed this website along. I liked it's straightforward explanations of certain aspects of my faith. There are additional vids, explaining what Mormon missionaries are all about, Mormon temples, the Book of Mormon. One corrects many of the common myths about Mormons, too.

My funniest experience with a "Mormon myth" was my freshman year at Stanford. A friend in my dorm, who came from Southern California, asked me why Mormons couldn't drive cars. What? We can, I told him. He said, "But I've only seen the missionaries on bikes." He went on to explain that he assumed that we were not allowed to drive cars, and furthermore deduced that it must be because we didn't want any physical obstruction between ourselves and God.

I assured him that I had no qualms sleeping in a building or opening and using an umbrella! LOL!
