Kerasene

Yay! New Zealand is loved. Where are you from?

Hi, I'm from New Zealand. My name is Kera and I'm 17, finishing off my last year of school. I love music and art, Lomography, and Tumblr. I had an account previously on here but I ditched it because I didn't like my username, also haven't been on here for at least 6 months... Would be nice to get to know you all! :)

Welcome! I'm Mormon myself, but I find athiests to have rather interesting views of things. Somehow all my closest friends are athiest. Will be nice to have you here. :)

Hi and welcome! :)

Hi Angela and welcome! I'll be your friend. :)

Hi and welcome! Weh, jealous of all you cool UK cool kids. Exciting, hope you enjoy/enjoyed your first time at church! :)

Hi and welcome! I'm kinda still new too. :) Hope you feel at home here!

Hey, and welcome! I'm still kind of new here myself. :) Hope you feel welcome here! Haha that's cool, I'm also in Lincoln Ward, in New Zealand. :)

Hi Michael! Ah that's so cool, you live in England! Congratulations on your baptism! :) I was baptised this year in May 22nd. Hope you feel welcome here!

Simply show her that you love her, perhaps send emails more often than calls - just to let her know how your life is going. She can't argue when you're sending an email. It will most likely make her feel a little better that things are going well for you though she is missing you and wants you at home. Send her mail in the post too.. maybe attach some photos, I'm sure all mothers would appreciate that. I know my grandmother is far more tolerable through email - whenever we're on the phone it always ends horribly, so I email her instead.. As hard as it is, I agree with everyone here, try not to feel guilty. It's your turn to find your place and I'm sure your mother knows that, she's just having a hard time letting go?

Haha nice. Ooh, footy (soccer) is the best game ever.

Hey go you! I've decided I probably will want to go to BYU as well, so I've decided I will being taking my last year of school - compulsory for New Zealand apparently. I'll certainly make the most of it though! :) Favourite sports?

I have a delicious recipe for crepes (thin pancake). It creates the perfect mix for a thin, but not fatty crepe. I also serve scrambled eggs, bacon, and fried bananas with cinnamon with it. 120g flour (125g = 1cup) 2 eggs 60mL water 60mL milk tbsp oil (this is to prevent sticking, still do it even if you use a non-stick pan) pinch of salt I've got to a point where I don't really measure how much liquid I put in, once you get used to the texture and thickness of the mixture, you'll be able to do that too. The first crepe will generally be pretty stuffed up, most people I know agree with me. Make sure the pan is very hot before you start, then turn it down to a lower heat. :) Enjoy!

I've started Institute, I was invited by a friend in our ward to come and I loved it. I've only just become a member this year (being 16), so I had already missed out on two years of Seminary.. I can't actually go to Seminary because I have to catch the bus rather early.. meaning I'd be missing out on most of it. I got permission to go to Institute, so I can start a full year next year. :) It's way fun!

Welcome. :) I'm new too. I wasn't raised in the Gospel either, I just recently got baptised haha. Good on you man! :)

Hmm, into alternative? Favourite bands or songs or anything?

Hi there Michael, nice to meet you. Kera, 16, New Zealand. What kind of rock?

Thanks, er just as I suspected, costs money. I would if I had money. Weh, thanks though. :)

He is there to judge, but to judge fairly. I think the best thing for you to do is to talk to your wife, and confront your Bishop about. That's not fair, if he chooses to judge, you at least have a reason to know what his judgement is and talk to him. The Bishop is there to support you and help you through the problem.

I think as difficult as it may seem, you probably should go to your Bishop.. maybe talk to your wife about it. Your Bishop is probably the best person to see about becoming active again. I'm happy for you that you're making the decision to become an active member. :) Anyway, welcome. :) I'm kind of new too, actually only started using this dormant account.. but yeah, your Bishop (as all Bishops should be) is the person you should talk to about these types of things. He's there to listen and to guide you, not to judge you. He'll help you become active again. :)

Kera, 16, New Zealand Hi everybody! :)

I don't intend for this to be an introduction thing, more directed at the youth. Pretty please don't move this thread. :) Just curious to see who's out there, there's not many members I know, I mean, I know all the fellas from my ward and a few from my stake but.. Be nice to meet some wordly peeps. Just to make it a little bit interesting, what kind of music are you into?

They should just ignore him. If people live in fear or live by what other people think of them, they're just going to be upset because they care so needlessly about it. If they don't care, it won't affect them. I've learnt that after quite some time, it's great when you can do something and not feel bad.. or not feel the need to defend or prove yourself to anyone else. He's clearly being horrible and will fail the maths test, I highly doubt that he'll answer the questions in the test like that, it was all a statement to offend.

Where would I find this test that you speak of? I'm always interested to see what they say about me.

Your Type is INFJ Introverted 56 Intuitive 38 Feeling 38 Judging 11 moderately expressed introvert moderately expressed intuitive personality moderately expressed feeling personality slightly expressed judging personality I retook it, thinking about each question more, this result is far my accurate. I'm a very family orientated person, no matter how weird mine is (haha). I'm definitely into my arts and I'm very passionate about, the arts, music (is an art form still). I've also always been one to internalize feelings and things that irritate/anger me. It's the only way of 'dealing' with it that supposedly works for me..
