I didn't tell anyone too specifically the kind of work I'm involved in, for obvious reasons.

One night I went to one of the very few bars (drinking my OJ, cranberry and soda water mocktail) they had in Provo and began shooting pool. Within a few minutes a few people joined me and we began talking. We started having the usual conversations like where are you from, what are you doing in town and such.

I just went right ahead and told them I'm looking for a wife. They didn't laugh or seem too surprised. One of the guys just nodded, smiled and said, "that's smart, Mormon women are great!". Then he began talking about his life history (I think he grew up in Cali and was of Latino descent) and how we was raised by a Mormon family and he is incredibly grateful for them because in his younger years he was involved in gangs and credited his adopted family for saving his life.

Most days while in Provo, I went to the Rec center which was the nicest sports/gym facility I've ever been to. Everything was in top-notch condition. It had 4 full-sized indoor basketball courts, indoor and outdoor Olympic sized swimming pools, weight room, running track suspended above the ground floor and water slides/park for the kids. I've never seen so many white dudes that could dunk a basketball in my life or how they would all play as a team for that matter. I couldn't believe how courteous and wholesome everybody seemed.

You'll hardly see anybody smoking or have any tattoos. It's like the Jim Carey movie, The Truman Show, complete with the white picket fences.

You just get this feeling like this is how we're supposed to live. Everybody seemed happy and genuinely cared about others' well-being. The young women would have aerobics type classes by the weight room area and I definitely liked what I saw. I plan on returning there in a few month after I launch my new business.

They have a saying "modest is hottest" and they really don't like to flaunt their wealth. It's like they don't want to hurt the feelings of anyone less fortunate than they are.
