Harvard student talks about being a "Mormon"

My sister Tera had this posted on her blog and I was so impressed by her answers to the questions pu to her I wanted to share them.

This is a wonderful clip of a discussion held at Harvard concerning the personal search for purpose. On the panel were college students of different faiths, including this Latter-day Saint girl, Rachel Esplin, as well as a Muslim, Jew, Presbyterian, and Buddhist. They all answered questions concerning their faith and religious practices. Rachel Esplin answers questions regarding her upbringing, the development of her personal testimony, women's roles in the church, her belief in Christ, Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon, knowledge of spiritual truths, temple marriage, temple covenants, and missionary work. Take a look:

She did really well! She needs to serve a mission. She would do a great job.

I found out Sunday that she is engaged to my friend's friend. If that makes any sense. Small world.

Maybe the engagement is what is making her question a mission. . .
