Our family went out to eat last night. An older gentleman walked in, and Cole said, "There's the Prophet. He doesn't have any hair." Everyone without hair seems to be "the Prophet" to Cole.
Then Don says, "What did my son just say?" I realized the title "Prophet" could be really off putting to someone not in the church. I explained our Prophet is the President of our Church, and he leads us as Prophets of old lead their people...for example, Moses.
Don then says, "It's not that the Mormon Church is weird, it is the language you guys use. Prophet, Apostle, Brother and Sister, Testimony. That is what sounds weird, not the principles behind it."
I couldn't agree more.
