Comments on: Ask a Mormon Woman: Why Are There So Many Mormons in Southern Alberta, Canada? (And p.s. What are squares?)

I think the question of “squares” is referring to the areas that surround temples, like the Salt Lake Temple Square, not about baking.

I grew up in Southern Alberta and it is such a stronghold of the Church. I loved growing up and living there, and plan on moving back because I miss this: It has a lot of members, but there are still many baptisms and the Church is growing rapidly there. But, it doesn’t have the typical culture that one would expect in a predominantly LDS area. It’s a great balance and a beautiful temple.

My mom was born and raised in Southern Alberta – in Magrath. We were able to travel from Utah to Alberta several times through my growing up years. It is beautiful country. I have always enjoyed visiting there. The temple there is beautiful.

This post is so hard for me to read – because my oven is being replaced and I won’t be able to make any squares for days!

I absolutely love this post since all lines of my family (four of ’em!) were Utah pioneers that moved to Southern Alberta between 1890 and 1910. Most of them were ranchers. 🙂

P.S. Squares are fabulous!
