Me, I come from Mississippi, which is pretty much the badlands of the Church. I'm the only Mormon in my school. The nearest active, highschool-aged members live an hour away, so me and my Mom have seminary together in the afternoons. There are only five young women in my ward, and the nearest temple is in the next state.

There are, however, some positive things about the deep South. Pretty much everyone in my hometown is a fiery evangelical Christian. This means we always have prayers before football games, band concerts, and state testing, which is nice, and its not uncommon to see someone sitting in class reading the Bible. It's refreshing to be surrounded by religious people, even though their religion may be slightly different than mine.

So where do the rest of you hail from? And what about your home makes your religious experience unique? I'm curious.
