I will continue to keep trying to make friends with these ladies, I know that we will be "working" together for a long time to come and I would hate to think that I won't make any friends. All the men at church are just so friendly, it's just the women that seem "stuffy" as someone else said

You know this may sound stupid but I never thought of that. I will do that I think, hole up at the back of the room and read, thank you

Hi all Firstly a little introduction for those that didn;t see the first one. My name is Jo and I am from Nottingham. I have only recently started attending the LDS church (3 weeks), my husband is a baptised member of the church but left before gaining the priesthood which he will be receiving on the 30th May (and baptising me and my daughter on the 5th June) Anyway, I am 31 years old and am really struggling with the relief society, I am the youngest member of the group by far they are all 50+ and the 1 hour is very subdued and boring for want of a better word, I hear the men next door and it sounds like they are having so much fun, enjoying their teachings rather than sitting in silence listening for an hour. The lessons being taught are brilliant and very valuable to me as a new member, I do put EVERTHING into it but it is just so difficult when the other members (and the teachers) do not seem to have their heart in it. I enjoy the first two hours so much and have found myself looking forward to going to service but dreading the last hour. I have spoken to my missionaries about this and they say that the reason I am there is to inject some new life into the group. I just don't know what to do, most of these women were born into the church and they seem very "standoffish"towards me as a newcomer, I have tried talking to them but they just don't seem interested in talking to me. Any advice from anyone would be a great help

As the title says? I was just wondering if Thomas S Monson is the LDS version of the pope
