I have been called to the California San Jose Mission Mandarin Chinese speaking.

He's only going to be separated for me for 4 hours going to work, and for those four hours i'm going to do some work at the temple and he is picking me up afterwards, but if there is another time in which I need a 'companion' I will definitely give them a call :)

Thanks, good advice Misshalfway.

I'm going to be with my friend for the first 3 days in Utah (Returned Missionary, recently temple married) visiting with his entire family down in St. George. My Grandparents won't be there. What do I do then?

I will be set apart as a missionary next week, and I was wondering since my parents will not being going with me to Utah, I am going to Utah 6 days before my entrance to the MTC and I will be staying with my grandparents and some very close friends while i'm there and I was wondering what would be off limits as far as being set apart and all. You're supposed to be around a 'companion' at all times but my father isn't able to come to Utah with me.

I'm new, Just wanted to join an LDS forum. My name is Nathan, i'm sixteen and reside in Pennsylvania. I'm a priest (obviously) and don't currently have a calling. I finish high school this year and am concurrently enrolling in a community college. I plan on getting an associates degree before my mission and then finish my degree (in business administration) after my mission at BYU Provo.

I always had this friend of mine who seemed like he needed the Book of Mormon in his life, he's a non denominational Christian and he claims he is open to any religion that is true, and this disheartened me a little bit because he has never really been willing to even talk to me about what we as mormons believe, I know for a fact he has nothing but a knowledge of the basics such as joseph smith. I had a talk to him tonight and he said that "you mormons are confused" and it has been bugging me ever since... Does anyone have any advice at how I would approach this? I don't want to lose a friend, and I sure would like him to change his stance for my church.
