One mormon Culture Utah

 As I wrote about  the culture of my country and how I have being missing it a lot theses day, I would also like to share some of my thoughts about the Utah culture. Interestingly enough, I am not the only one who thinks this way, so I have brought some research of other people's opinion to the table.
I want to start saying that Utah is a wonderful place with many wonderful people. The fact that it is blessed with the mormon culture and lots of mormon history, faithful mormon people is also a plus. I was so excited to come to go to school in utah knowing that that would be the case and thinking that it would be easier to live the principles. I just really miss the feeling that I had as I lived in Brazil and I had so many opportunities to be the light of the world. To try my very best everyday to follow the principles and be an example to my family, brother and sister and my dad who is not a member. I have to say that at any moment it was easy to be like that, but it was so wothy as I saw the many blessing that came into my life. Growing up in Brazil and a member of the church ( mormon, LDS) made me go through a lot of situations where I had to stand up for myself and choice the right. That helped my testemony grow stronger and deeper.

I have discussed with my husband though so many times my frustantion living in Utah/ Provo, and how I miss the opportunity to serve, the opportunity to stand up and be the light, the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of my beloved ones.  I just wish I didn't live in a bubble where everything is fine (or lets pretend it is), because it is not. There are so much work to be done. So many lives to touch and I feel as if someone had put me in a place where I get to be just one more. Just one mormon newly married girl who is trying to make the best of the present so the future brings the blessing of survyvin in this world. And hoping of someday make a difference in someone's life so I can feel that I have a purpose on this earth.

Here is another post of a friend of mine who also feels and sees the Mormon Culture and Utah the way it is.
Here is another post with a lot of comments of people that feels the same way.

Now, I hope whoever reads this post try to understand and see my perspective on this. If you have a different one, you are more than welcome to share it and I will be very open minded to it. 

Thanks!~
