MDB is delighted to welcome our first blogger from beyond these shores. Though he blogs from a good half the world away, John Teal’s email struck a chord familiar to many of us here:
“Hi, I stumbled across you guys on the net today. I was surprised to find a gathering of fellow Mormon Daddy bloggers,” wrote John. “I had almost resigned myself to being a lone man in the wilderness of Mormon Mommy bloggers!”
John has begun an A-Z blogging challenge, and just covered “G,” which he uses to introduce us to a bit of Cockney rhyming slang involving a giraffe. Fun post you won’t want to miss.
John blogs from his home in Manchester, England, where he lives with his wife and three teenage children. He’s self-employed and works in property maintenance. In his “About Me,” John writes:
“I suppose many of my outlooks on life are influenced by my LDS beliefs and general experiences.”
Meet John Teal via his post, Are You Having a Giraffe?
Thanks for the mention ! I’m one of those LDS bloggers that doesn’t discuss full on doctrines but like to think my faith shows through what in what I write. I also display a ” I believe” link to my profile on Mormon.org, so I’m warming rather than warning the world at the minute !
I hope to get to know some more MDB in the coming weeks !

I remember the first time I got a follower who was from a foreign country (Australia) and I thought “I have HIT the BIG TIME!” I totally dig your accent John; Americans think British accents sound uber smart and sophisticated. I mean, I assume you sound smart and sophisticated. I assume you have an accent. In blogging it shows up mostly in spelling (“Colour”) or colloquialisms. So could you say “Blimey” in a blog post for us? We’d really appreciate it.
