Mormon’s Next Door @ C.O.D.
Today, we had a wonderful experience at the College of DuPage (COD). Angela in her role with Public Affairs went and gave a wonderful “Mormon’s Next Door” presentation to a comparative religion class that one of the young men in our ward is in. He helped set it up and the teacher was pretty excited. I went along as the “tech” guy and got everything set up. Bishop Brown also came, along with the stake’s Public Affairs Director that Angela works with. She did an OUTSTANDING job and handled herself VERY well.
At first there were not too many questions, but then the flood gates opened and the kids started asking all kinds of questions. We were surprised that there were not too many controversial questions asked. The kids were more interested about missionary service, humanitarian service, and things like that. I guess that goes to show the maturity of those kids who are taking the class because they WANT to. We were supposed to take up about 3/4 of the class time, but ended up going all the way to the end and then we stayed after for about 30 minutes still answering questions.
Great job Angela, Bishop, and all involved!
