Mormon Life says: Members from Pennsylvania talk about what it's like to be a Mormon during the "Mormon Moment." When you grow up Mormon, you get used to keeping the Sabbath, dressing conservatively, spending time with your family, and disabusing non-Mormons of the notions they hold about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

"The biggest thing that I try to explain is that we're very normal," said Amber Campbell, who resides with her husband, Alan, another lifelong Mormon, and their two young sons, in West Hempfield Township. "We live very normal lives."

And Mormon values, she said, are much the same as those held by traditional Christians: "We believe in being good and kind and doing unto others as you would have them do unto you, and following Christ's example."

With the construction of a brand new temple scheduled to begin this spring, Penn’s devoted Mormon community continues to extend its place and presence on campus.

The Latter-day Saints Student Association, which became an official student group on campus last December, obtained formal recognition by the Students Activities Council at that time and will soon begin to receive funding for events and programs.
