SO LAST NIGHT…Missionaries meet mistresses at a going away to Utah party
Some of you may remember my Mormon kick from last May, when I had some LDS missionaries bring over a copy of the Book of Mormon on what turned out to be a rather hectic day around C5 West.
Well, over the past year I've periodically engaged with Mormon theology, reading and thinking about some sections of the BoM, checking out an LDS sacrament meeting, and otherwise pondering what it is that draws people to the LDS faith.
But last night, I put my Book of Mormon to use in a new way — as part of my outfit at a friend's going away (to Utah) party, where the dress code for guys was the LDS missionary garb... and for the ladies, anything skanky:
Yep, it was a Mormons-and-hookers party, and armed with all that I've learned about the LDS church I knew I could play my gender's assigned role somewhat convincingly.
So not only did I don a shirt and (short) tie, but I also went the extra mile(s) of making myself the requisite missionary nametag, bringing along my copy of the Book of Mormon, also bringing the course listings for classes at ASU's LDS Institute that I had lying around and putting together a very special lesson that I preached to potential converts using pictures from the church's own Gospel Art Picture Kit.
In fact, I'm pretty sure one of the guys who caught my teaching moment at the party actually thought I was Mormon.
Anyway, to see my pictures from the party, click here. And remember, if you're not yet my friend on Flickr, you're only seeing the half of it...
