The person also reminded me, we don’t call ourselves “Mormon” anymore.But I do. I call myself Mormon, though I don’t attend church at the moment. And I love Mormonism as much as anyone.I love the Mormonism that taught me when I was a child that any untutored young boy (and I thought then, girl, too)

I was a yeller, which led one spectator to chew me out for being so hard on a 14- year-old kid who was, she said, “doing the best
