Mormon ads

Here's the deal. We had a special meeting a couple months ago at church. Instead of going to Sunday school and 3rd hour we were instructed on the new mormon.org initiation. We were told that in the beginning of October they would start showing "I'm a mormon" commercials in the Denver area on the major networks and have billboards up around town.
I was watching the news a couple of weeks ago and I saw my first mormon ad on national television. It was so neat! If you haven't seen any of them, they are very motivational and heartwarming.
Last week Jason told me he saw the Brandon Flowers mormon ad. We knew he was LDS and we knew he was active. I absolutely loved what he said. I loved how he explained that people would tell him they used to be LDS but they sort of "grew out of it" thinking it would give them some sort of connection, but he says, "I was raised in it, and there's still a fire burning in there." I really love how in the end he didn't even mention he was a member of the killers, he just said he was a husband, a father and a mormon. Sure seems to me he has his priorities in order.  I really hope you get a chance to watch it. The other commercials are fantastic too!
