Many of us at this symposium are in the LDS “Borderlands” in one way or another, and we’ve all had interesting, funny, or troubling experiences. We’ve also overcome difficulties and challenges (or we wouldn’t be here!). In this session, I will share a few reflections and experiences on Borderlander topics, but I mainly want to hear from audience members about their life in the Borderlands. I want this session to be honest and hopeful, serious but not morbid, fun and enjoyable, adhering to Sunstone’s policies of good taste and the avoidance of blame and recrimination. This session is designed to help us learn better how to be successful LDS Borderlanders.
