St George. However a friend of mine even has said the same thing about Salt Lake (he is mormon also).

I did not live in Salt Lake. There were only two types of people in the area I lived in. It was not hogwash that anyone else of a different faith or wasn't super mormon in my town was looked down on. I had no problems working a job late at night, on the weekend, etc... Yet still had the hardest problem finding a job there because I wasn't in the click basically. You might have had no issues in the past but unless you have lived on the outside don't tell people who would how it could be really.

I can tell you right now don't do it. I moved to Utah for a little over a year (just last year) and I was mormon. What I learned though is you are either super mormon or non-mormon in Utah. There is no between. I had a hard time finding jobs and everything in between because I was not the standard mormon. Any time anyone of a different faith around everyone got really weird too.

My first calling in the church was Ward Missionary and Gospel Principals teacher. They went hand and hand really. I don't think it was even 2 months really when I was called after I was baptized. But I also worked hand and hand with the missionaries in my ward while I was investigating even so it was not a surprise to be called to the calling I was. (I'm still really close with the former and current missionaries in my ward even. I went to the mission reunion just recently even.) Plus the ward I am in is VERY proactive about keeping members with callings and temple recommends and so on. The calling I have enjoyed the most would either be my ward missionary calling or one of my current callings which are Munch and Mingle committee and soon to be a formal committee of Hide & Go Seek/Reactivation committee.

I understand your worry big time. I have slipped before at the temple doing baptisms so what I have learned to do now is to bend my knees but in a running style (one foot out in front of the other). It makes it do I feel safe and supported and my feet secure.
