"He she isn't Mormon, but they are still a great guy/girl"

I grew up in the "mission field", went on a mission despite my many non-lds friends telling me how stupid it was(it was a hard thing to do when not many understand the mission thing), returned home honorably, temple marriage, graduated from BYU, etc. and lived in Utah for four years. After that, I got a job in OR and moved. Towards the end of my time in Utah, I one day said what is in quotes up top and almost shot myself. Utah is a great place in some respects, and although I take responsibility for my stupidity(see quotes again), I am so glad to be gone. The LDS culture in Utah is not the LDS gospel and although people are not perfect anywhere, I feel different and MUCH better going to Church up here as opposed to in Utah.

This or something similar ever happen to anyone else???[/u]
