Hello and welcome to Not So Molly Mormon podcast minisodes.

This is Katie and I'm very happy to be joining you again with another minisode.

We have got some questions. We've received some questions recently about whether or not we still want your stories.

And yes, the answer is yes.

Please continue to send them to us, even if it takes me a while to get them on the show.

It's just amazing to read your experiences experiences and we do want to share them with this

community. So if you have a story, you want to share, email us at not-so-Molly Mormon podcast at

gmail.com. With that, I'm going to dive in to this minisode. This comes from an anonymous listener.

They write, I was born and raised in the church, and my whole family has been Mormon for

generations. As a child and teenager, I was the typical goody-goody Molly Mormon.

I never caused any trouble and never questioned anything.

Plus, I was super naive about everything.

Hell, I didn't even hold hands with a boy until I was 18.

Anywho, when I was about 13, I had to do a project for school where I recorded a video of myself building something.

My family didn't have a video camera, so I asked my Beehive leader if she had a video camera I could borrow for a school project.

This just makes me giggle because I relate to this so much. I can see little 13-year-old

me doing this. Like if we didn't have something that I needed for a project, I would ask my

church leader. Because, yeah, if you don't know, if you all didn't grow up Mormon, there's

leaders for every section of the young women and the young men. And the 12 to 13 year old girls

are called beehives. And they have their specific leader. So I can totally see myself, like, reaching on where I lived,

it would be probably my neighbor because every single person on my street, on my block,

were all Mormon, and they were all in my ward. So I could see myself doing this same thing.
