There is two sides of it. Most people feel great at a gathering when each individual feels cared about. But on the other side, a hostess that runs around looking stressed and not being present kills it. So definantly look at how much time you would want to spend on your dinner/snacks/whatever before they come, so you'll have it all prepared for them in good time, then you can join the party/gathering yourself. It doesn't nessicarily need to be a feast, it could also just be snacks for a movie or a game night. Just put it in some bowls, in the fridge or whatever there is needed. So that when you pop the movie in or people start to play the games, all you have to do is go and grab the stuff, lean back and enjoy. :) * Also, if its something bigger you might wan't to prepare what needs to be ready in really good time, so you can go and take a relaxing bath or do what makes your nerves calm down. Since your guests may notice you feeling worn down after preparing. Oh, and if your doing something as (lets say) potatoes, which you might prefer not to have been out after being cooked for a long time, just peel them and put them in some water with a lid on. You just have to put the heat on when the guests arrives then. (Just an example) But thats more in the food department in relation to being a hostess, since it sound like the actual party and having fun with your friends is your homefield. :)

I do relate to you as well. Big changes are coming up in my life too right now. One of those are to move to another city two hours away from where my family and everyone are. I don't know a single soul in this new city. There's 10-15 members there and they are about 60 years old and above. That's what i've been told anyway. It can be scary in a sense, but its an adventure. I think the attitude is the key. Feeling lonely and burned out can be really tough, but there is most likely a reason for you to be where you are right now. And im sure its not just for the purpose of feeling the things that you are. So maybe now is the time for you to open your eyes and your heart and see more than you've seen so faar. Talk to your father in heaven, and tell him about your worries. If you don't know what to do, or what to realise, tell him to lead you. He wants you to be happy, and if you've been answered in your prayers that you need to go a certain way, have comfort for now that if you do your part, he is leading you towards happiness :) But thats just sharing my thoughts about it. If you ever need to vent or just to talk to someone, then feel free to message me anytime.

Welcome :)

Thanks for the answers! So you just tell him about food storage and such to explain? What is generic drugs?

But can a doctor write perscriptions for that large an amount of medicine? I've been told that they couldn't

How do you build up a storage of the medicine you need? Isn't that impossible? If its a medicine you need to keep you alive, wouldn't that mean that in a bad situation you would well.. die as one of the first?

What would you want him to do if he was going to do it? Since if your possibly starting off something that might become something more, you're probably both figuring out where each other are and learning to know each other better. So what you decide to do, might be setting the "bar". Not that its inchangeable If it makes sense.

Ohh like that! Thats a cool idea

MsMagnolia: Do you mean making a whole table of food storage? Don't know what you mean with the end table :) (My english fails me sometimes, hehe). And yeah, i've seen those bedrollers around, they're actually pretty affordable and often on sale. ^.^ Thought about buying thoose. Pam: That is cool O_O hm, do you know if it matters if its on a carpet or on a wooden floor? If it will be harsh on it, slide or whatever.

Oh yeah, i probably should say that i am just one person! :) Yeah, i've heard alot of people recommend IKEA. Never heard of thoose blocks though, sounds clever.

I will soon be moving to a smaller apartment than the one i already have, the one i am now moving too is similar to this: Fjordvej 46 And after figuring out that i have to throw about 80% of what i own away to fit it in there, i just remembered that there also has to be room for foodstorage! So im looking for some ideas in here. How do you store your food? And do you have some tips?

The place where i am moving too in 3 months, there are about 10 members in the church. Every single one of them from 65+ years old and up. Now i could wonder why this is the place for me to be, being only 21 years old. But it would be a shame to let the oppertunity pass, where i could make a difference. The Lord knows the right place for us to be, i know that if you put your own wishes to the side and pray for an answer, you will know the answer to your question.

I use to smoke as well, from i was 12-13 to around 18-19. I so do agree with you! I enjoyed smoking, but even then it doesn't pay off. So how did you quit? Cold turkey? Yeah, danes shop alot in Germany too. Because its cheaper. I've noticed one of your stores have come to Denmark and has become very popular here. LIDL? Also Aldi. But in the LIDL they have the best banana sorbet ever ...!!! <3 Hehe, but you probably know those stores. The only time i were in Germany was for a brief shoppingtrip. So i havn't seen as much of Germany as i would have liked to. But hey, its not faar. So that wouldn't be difficult What did you do in Denmark?

I've never been to a YSA ward, but i heard of it. Where i live we arn't that many young adults in the church so thats probably why. But i would feel really akward if i had to attend in a singles wards only. In my opinion it sounds like putting alot of pressure on young adults to get married. Why not just trust the Lord in how he works, and that we will meet our soulmate one day? Although i don't think its bad getting together sometimes. But i have a feeling that being surrounded by humans in every age groups is very important for our spiritual growth. Many people in the church, older as well as younger, are remarkable examples from sunday to sunday. And being around to see their examples teaches me so many things that i would not like to be without. We need friends as well as a soulmate, and we are all just spirits in a temporary state. The numbers we give ourself as an age here, probably won't mean much in the eternal light of things. Just because im a young adult, doesn't mean that i should only mix and mingle between other young adults. I don't know what package my eternal friends will be in. Nor do i know that with my soulmate. It has to come naturally in my book. But i guess we are all different human beings. (Mix ang mingle, i think thats the right term?)

Hello Orrinian and welcome :) I am from Denmark, so we are neighbours! Hehe..

You can always learn more. Even from a simple doctrine.

Taking over a lesson is not my point at all :) more like asking questions, looking like your interested, sharing your thoughts and stuff. ^^

I think it can be like that in any meeting, depending on how much the different people put in it. If everybody seems kinda "bla", then why not stand out and take an intrest to kind of show that you are here to get something out of it and that you're also interested in what there is being said. Maybe it will develope from that. Also, even when someone isn't giving a great lesson. Trying to see the positive in it or making some sense out of it, it could be a lesson itself. The best lessons taught is the ones inside of your own heart. And the only one that are in control of that is yourself. If that makes sense...

Depends on how you confront them. If theese boys actually are becoming inactive and distancing them further to the church, coming to them with a pointing finger about what is or isn't the right thing to do, would only make them distance further. Not that you need to pack it all up in pretty little box, but i would really consider what you are thinking about telling them are going to benefit either them or you. If it is them not being active and serious about it that troubles it, then being a good example and a great friend will do wonders in the longer run.

Welcome!

I like the example of "what you would say in front of a person". Its also thoose moments i've wonderes most about. Because you are talking behind someones back somehow, but does the good intention make it alright?

No, i never tried that game. But i get your point. So talking about other people when it is irrelevant to both parts that would classify it as gossip in that case?

Where is the limit to where a conversation becomes gossip? I have a good friend that has made me wonder about this. We both have good intentions, but when we talk we can get really sucked into a conversation. We try to keep gossip out of our conversations though. So i've come to think, how can i be sure i am keeping a good balance in it, when im not really sure where the limit goes? Because surely you can talk about how a friend has been doing, or about an event or things that happen around us without it being evil, more like in a friendly matter? Im not sure. What is your opinion?

The only thing i could find was this: Has any General Authority of the Mormon Church ever said that members of the church should not watch R rated movies? | Ask Gramps When i were unactive in the church, horrors were basically all i really felt like watching. Returning to the church, i felt like every time i turned on a horror i put up a wall. The spirit left even as i thought of it. Now, i don't think all horrors are bad, i couldn't say that since i havn't seen all the movies made. (Although i've seen a whole lot ) But i do think that horrors in many cases arn't a tastefull way of delivering a message. I don't think that you will get blind of the negative things in life, if you don't let them in your life. The majority would probably still know that its out there. I can watch a horror or something like it, but i do screen it carefully now. It's also made me more open in my heart when i watch movies. Before nothing really had an impact on me unless it was extreme. I still don't scare that easily, but im sure that movies make more of an impact on all of us than we know of. Maybe it's just about finding a balance in it. Working together with the spirit.
