Welfare: The power of cooperation

reality check --

This article mentioned that the world is surprised that Mormons do this fasting and fast offering stuff. I'm sorry but not many people actually know that much about Mormons. Most people I have talked to about Mormonism know rather little if anything about it.

I worked with a good brother who ran the Bishop's Storehouse. The people that came with their orders where treated as if they were the most valued customers at a store. He took the pain from being a recipient.

[We even had a sign over the brooms entitled "Mother-in-law Transportation". The mothers in law laughed hardest.]

Surprising, marguerite, that since Mormons are so inconsequential in your opinion, you would even bother to say anything about them. But then, it's kind of a nice feeling to get in a little dig now and then, isn't it? Apparently, Mormons aren't so inconsequential to you.
