Take a look at the photograph on page 9 of the March Ensign not only is it an interracial couple but the husband has, gasp! Facial hair!

The last two bishops in my ward have beards. I'm starting to wonder now what my current bishop will look like with facial hair (once he's released).

I didn't bother to read that other thread on facial hair. I don't think every thread is woth reading. That being said. I live in Pennsylvania, which I know is quite different from Utah, but are you guys serious?

We have many interracial couples of various races, including I have a daughter married to a black man, Nobody even notices here. I live in the self proclaimed "Mushroom Capital of the world". There are many Mexican migrant workers who work here, a number of which are either members of our ward, or investigating the church. They arrive at chuch dressed in many ways to include some who wear t-shirts and jeans. Nobody says anything. Eventually most get the idea to dress "nicely", but there are many interpretations of that.

I personlly don't like jackets or long sleeve shirts. I always wear short sleeve shirts and a tie and no jacket. Nobody says anything to me.

I guess we live in a different world out here and I am surprised at all the fuss and bother you all have over either race relations or appropriate Church dress. Maybe it is nice to not have anything more important to worry about.

Is it in the Liahona, too?

Don't worry about the facial hair--he has a doctor's exemption for it.

Amen to that. I am married to a Mexican citizen. The only comments I get from being in an unknown ward is, "Hello, Elder," mistaking me for a "guero" missionary. I could have an Osama beard and people still call me Elder.
