Gilbert, AZ also has an incredibly high Mormon population. The Mormon churches (or whatever they call the smaller satellite buildings that aren’t temples) are like Starbucks, one on nearly every corner. This must not be one of their school boards.
To be fair though, it’s also a very safe, clean, and well maintained suburb. Probably the overall best family friendly city in the entire Phoenix metro.
The Mormon churches (or whatever they call the smaller satellite buildings that aren’t temples)
They’re called a chapel building or chapels, of which 2-4 congregations (named wards) share. And then a collection of wards are organized into a stake, and they share a bigger building named a stake center for periodic meetings and events together.
And just a heads up, the current “Mormon” prophet has decreed that the moniker “Mormon” has fallen out of favor, and instead should be called “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints”, the full name (there’s some shorter names in that link). So if you see people down voting you, it’s probably due to that.
So it’s not longer the “Mormon prophet”, it’s the “the prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints”. And it’s no longer “he’s a Mormon”, it’s “he’s a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints”. And it’s no longer the “Mormon missionaries”, it’s “a missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints”.
I think that’s silly, and I believe once there’s a new prophet again, the word “Mormon” will be ok. But I guess time will tell!
Fuck any of the assholes downvoting you, that was a good response, and thanks. I knew they were called something else, but I couldn’t remember what.
As far the LDS vs Mormon, I’m aware, but unfortunately the Missionaries don’t come to my house anymore to talk about the prophet, or anything else. They used to come, like alot, like all the time, it was kinda odd. But when I started providing them copies of Letter to a CES Director, well, they havent been back in years.
lol what? Chandler and Mesa are both right next to it, and both shittier.
Granted, we’re just talking about a pavement plagued hellscape where distance is measured in Walmarts, so it’s all just degrees of shit, but Gilbert is the most family friendly polished turd in the entire metro.
Gilbert? Uh, no, it’s an extremely unstainable Mormon Mecca of landscaped gardens, ponds, and non-native greenery, surrounded by very clean strip malls, shopping malls, cookie cutter manicured neighborhoods, and all encased in a sea of pavement.
Which is the same thing as the rest of the Phoenix suburbs, just with a bit more water waste, and a hell of a lot cleaner.

It’s the second shittiest suburb of Phoenix, which is saying something

It’s a giant dirt pit.

I was just there. That is far from all of Gilbert.
