20 Signs You’re a Mormon (in case you didn’t know already)
What makes a Mormon a Mormon? Well, obviously if they have been baptized as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. But what makes a Mormon a Mormon can be their testimony in the gospel or their display of cultural Mormon quirks. If you are a Mormon, then you may find yourself doing at least one of these things.
1. Speaks in Mormon Lingo
I was an EQP talking to the RS President about Home Teaching and how her son just left for the MTC.
2. Testimony of the Book of Mormon
Read it, prayed about it, gained a testimony of it. (Moroni 10:4-5) You just need to make it through 2 Nephi and it is easier from that point on.
3. Funeral Potatoes and Jell-o
Whether there is a funeral or not, Mormons will be eating this.
4. Family History
You actually know who your ancestors are, such as your great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great- . . .
5. Loves General Conference
Are you psyched! Lets have a party at my house and watch it on my new plasma screen TV and eat scones while wearing pajamas.
6. Follows the Prophet . . . on Twitter.
Along with Deseret Book, Mormon Newsroom, and Mormon.org.
7. Does the Seminary Answers
Pray, read scriptures, attends church (attending seminary and institute helps too, especially since it is seminary answers).
8. Has a Crush on Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Just a little one. He is so cute!
9. Loves and Appreciates their Family
“[T]he family is central to the Creator’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children” (The Family: A Proclamation to the World). Even though they sometimes (maybe all times) drive us crazy, we love them anyways.
10. Goes to Ward Activities
Who needs a date night when you could go the ward chili cook-off or basketball tournament.
11. Listens to the Music of Famous Mormon Musicians
Such as The Piano Guys, David Archuleta, Lindsey Sterling, MoTAB, etc.
12. Keeps the Commandments
These laws are here to protect us and bring us closer to God. Though these days we can keep the commandments on paper or digital devices, not on big slabs of rock anymore.
13. Does All their Shopping at Deseret Book
Or Seagull Book or Down East Basics.
14. Serves God for Two Years
I hope they call me on a mission . . . especially to a place with beaches and great food.
15. Loudly Cheers When Jeffery R. Holland Goes to Speak
He is awesome! Look out Satan, Elder Holland is here.
16. Watches BYUtv
BYUtv has Studio C, Granite Flats, and American Ride.
17. What’s in your Wallet?
Miny FSOY pamphlet, Temple Recommend, tithing slip . . .
18. Believes in Long-Term Relationships
19. Food Storage
Eats it regularly and considers it edible. The real go-getters learn how to implement M&M’s in their food storage.
20. Can quote Classic Mormon Films
Testaments, the Singles Ward, Saint and Soldiers, Legacy, The Best Two Years, and of course Johnny Lingo (“Mahana, you ugly!”)
