Intersections of Identity
Few people can claim that a 3 a.m. prank phone call changed their life, but for La Donna Pratt Forsgren (MA '05), heaven had the last laugh. La Donna and her sister, Monica, had seen a late-night ad for a free copy of the Book of Mormon. And so they ordered one as a joke. "We thought we were so incredibly funny—until two missionaries showed up," Forsgren says. This odd introduction to the Church led to her baptism at age 17 and eventual temple marriage.
