Mormon Style

Tonight we went to the Crystal City Sports Bar to watch UConn and Michigan State. Why did we do that you may ask? Well, it definitely wasn't because we drink or because we're die hard Michigan State or UConn fans. We went to meet up with a the 10th grade counselor at our school, Mr. B.

Background: His office is across the hall from my two roommate's classroom (Wendy and Carolyn). He has become friends with them and learned that all of us are LDS (www.mormon.org). He was originally convinced that all of us were going to be married to some polygamist. Seriously...convinced. Wendy and Carolyn had to tell him on many occasions that we will not marry a polygamist. Funny. So they've been sharing some our beliefs with him as the semester has progressed.

This brings us to tonight...Since we only have one week left in DC (sad) he wanted to take all of the student teachers out, but Mormon style. So he suggested the bar and he said he would go the Mormon way (no drinking). So he's been preparing himself for this night by drinking more soda and less alcohol. He also brought along my mentor teacher, Brooke.

Here we are at the bar where we watched Michigan State beat UConn...and we all drank soda.


That's just how we do things Mormon style.

I love living here.

Fun story. You'll never know what affect your example will have. I'm sure you and your roommates have touched many of your acquaintances' lives.
