I thought this was very interesting and wanted to share it .

Just thought it was worth a view.
With conference this last weekend, one of the talks that really stood out to me was the talk (can't remember who gave it!!!) on the usage of the reference "the Mormons". He explained that it is like a nickname, a nickname only tells you a little about that person. It doesn't convey the whole truth of that person. It may give you a glimpse of what that person is like or what they are, but to truly know, you would need their whole name. It is kind of like the church. "Mormon" doesn't tell our whole story, it doesn't tell who we are.
There is a huge misconception in this world that we are not a Christian people. The talk went on to encourage us to use the full name of the Church. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. To let people know that yes our nickname is the Mormons, but we ARE The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. This video supports that misconception of the world and how it is effecting our leaders and the people who want to be leaders.
Kinda deep, but just a thought!
