What is really going through member's heads in California.

This is from my cousin Britney, who lives in Newport Beach, California.

What did it look like when I went to church yesterday? (written 11/17/08)

Yesterday when we went to church we were stopped by members of our ward to make sure we weren't trying to disturb the meetings.


Yesterday when we went to church there were police, and later there were undercover agents among the protesters.

Yesterday when we went to church we were counseled to take "any green light out of the parking lot" so that we weren't stopped or harassed.

Yesterday when we went to church we had to discuss what was going on outside with Mason.

Yesterday when we went to church it was a day I NEVER thought I would have to experience.

Yesterday when I went to church I got a teenie-tiny understanding of what the early members of the church may have felt when they went to church among hate and persecution.

Yesterday when I went to church I realized I no longer live in "the Bubble".

And...yesterday when I went to church I was proud to be a Mormon!

My brother in law was asked that next week for fast and testimony he should be a 'bouncer' of sorts if you will. IN SANDY UT. Because people have been going to these meetings pretending to be members then 'bearing their testimony' about how evil we are about prop. 8 and such. Crazy huh?

Go Britney, love her.
