the Wendy's restaurant marquee says, "Welcome back, Elders John Christensen and David Jensen" on one side, and "Good luck, Elder Craig Sorensen" on the other.

edzachery, having been hungry and thirsty in all things, desires further sustenance of the chicken nugget "Joseph's Wife's Meal."
Present yourself at the second window and your request shall be granted.
It's a common thing in St. George to welcome the missionaries home on local business marquees. The market in Santa Clara especially does this all the time as well as the Ace store on Bluff.
The U.S. Forest Service spends a million dollars constructing a fire line around your mountain town, but when the forest fire happens and the flames stop at the edge of town it's because of your faith & prayers.
LOL - literally. That was a good one. My husband and I joke that Utah's freeway model is "get the hell out of my way - I'm going to be a God some day." I think someone on this board originated that but we use it all the time.
You see a minivan pull up and 10 siblings all under age 9 pile out of it.......10 minutes later you see the mom come back for the one she forgot.
When you see a mom and dad let their pack of kids run wild, screaming through the restaurant, while they give you a dirty look for ordering a glass of wine with your dinner.
When you see a guy pulled over on the side of the road handing his temple recommend to the police officer.
When the priesthood holder that molested your family member is sitting in sacrament meeting a week after it happened, accepting a call as the new Young Men's leader.
When a total stranger walks up to you and asks "what ward are you in?"
When none of your children's school mates are allowed to come over and play with your kids, and your kids aren't invited to play with them.
When someone you used to attend church with see's you in the store and quickly ducks away so they don't have to interact with you.
You go inside a fast food restaurant to order and you see a curtain over the ordering window and a metal pole with a small hammer attached in front of it.
You then read a sign that says: to order bang hammer on pole 3 times.
You do so and then a hand opens the curtain a little ways and a person asks: "What is wanted?"
You know you are in Morridor when BYOB on an invitation to a cookout means bring your own beef(or other item for the grill), instead of bring your own beer(or booze or bottle).
Our cats have one of those carpet-covered kitty condos where the first floor is a square box with a hole in it, where the cats can hide if they wish. Going up from that is a post covered with thin rope. On top of that is a shallow box with sides. It contains two cats, very cozily.
My deeply inactive TBM DH began referring to this thing years ago as "the cats' Rameumptom." And so it remains, unless we shorten it to "The Umptom."
You can use your temple recommend as ID if you forget your ID. I did this once when I went shopping and took my credit card but forgot my driver's license. I had left it out of my wallet for some reason. But the Provo store wanted ID for me to use my credit card and accepted my temple recommend as proof they weren't getting ripped off.
You are in a public local government meeting and the elected officials keep addressing each other by their Church titles, e.g., Bishop, President, Counselor.
The local news carries a story about the latest temple opening or reopening, with a requisite interview with a young child saying how excited s/he is to see "President So-and-So".
The local state alcoholic beverage center is in an out of the way location, and does not carry a corkscrew.
Mormons act like they've never heard of major, public facilities that have nothing to do with the church, much less be able to tell you how to get there.

When I lived in Las Vegas, I went to Home Depot, way out west on Lamb Blvd a couple of times.
Across the road from HD is a Golden Corral Buffet restaurant and I admit to having gone there at least once.
One time, I was going to HD and saw on the sign out front of the Golden Corral, “Welcome Home, Elder XXXXXX”. Las Vegas is very Mormon, although putting that on a sign did surprise me.
And let’s say, if that was 5 years ago approximately, by now he’s married and has at least one kid, if not two.
