Never has there been written more ironic two-word statements. Since then, it has been all the rage to say "So (insert single subject adjective)" It just really helps to explain any situation.
For instance, Sister Carrigan and I had a "So Missionary" moment today as we walked past a man taking his little puppy out for a walk:
Us: "How's it going"
Him: "Can't complain"
Us: "Your dog is really cute."
Him: "It's not mine."
us: confused head nodding
Us: "...Whose is it?"
Him: "It's my girlfriends, she is out of town and so I am watching it all week."
Us: "Is it a boy or a girl?"
us:trying to regain some semblance of tact
Him: "Girl."
Us: "What's her name?"
Him: "Richard."
At that point we lost it. The whole conversation was unusually awkward, even for a missionary, and hearing the dog's name just did us in. In the midst of our laughing, the man--now looking offended--said, "Why is that so funny?!"
Turns out he thought we had said, "What's YOUR name."
I think I am the most awkward missionary in the world. Sigh.
"He loves us because He is filled with an infinite measure of holy, pure and indescribable love. We are His children. He loves everyone of us, even those who are flawed, rejected, awkward, sorrowful, or broken. God's love is so great that He loves even the proud, the selfish, the arrogant, and the wicked." -Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf
