![]() for 12 years when they decided to close his plant, so we went on the lookout for a job that would bring us out west and closer to my family in Utah. ![]() My husband had worked for Ford In Hazelwood, Mo. And usually thier ideas about who we are and why they dislike us are unfounded.īack to my point about living here in Wyoming. I just think it is really sad that the same people who would never dream of insulting a person of a different skin color don't think twice about insulting someone who is a Mormon. The conversation quickly came to an abrupt end! It was very uncomfortable for me to return after that happened. I joined one of my sons into the local wrestling program and as we watched the kids practice, I was speaking to several of the Mom's, the conversation turned to "Did we have a church and would we like to attend thiers." At this time I told them that I was Mormon, but thanked them for the invitation. They have never seen other kids as anything but other kids, someone to play with, be friends with, to have fun with, not nessessarily church companions. Until moving here, my kids had been the only mormons in thier school. I have never rejected another because of thier religious choices, but I have been more times than I can count!!! Our best friends are catholic and asked us to be god parents to thier one child that they tried to have for years, an honor to us even though it is not what our beliefs teach but something they held very dear to thier hearts, but we were rejected by thier priest who said we were not christians. This is a little off the subject, but I just read a post that said something about the Mormon kids being in control and not allowing other kids of different religions participate in Green River school activities, well that is a typical reversal of the truth! We are the minority (usually) and even if we are not, we are very nice and caring people as a whole. While drivng here, if someone lets you merge during while rush hour, wave, because you have probably just met me, I seem to be the only one who does it! The people here are usually very friendly but we have run into a few very unfriendly ones too. Most people are nice here, but it has taken us 6 months to make friends and the people we have gotten to know are already moving away because it is a very transient place. I used this site prior to moving from a small town in southern Illinois to Gillette wyoming, I posted questions and concerns and researched everything I could about living in Wyoming, but I promise you, living here is quite different than reading about living here!
