  1. I remember as a kid we put our picture (maybe) and a testimony in a BOM and then sent it to the missionaries. is this ok still to do? I thought it would be a fun FHE activity and then send it to the missionaries from our ward.

  2. He cannot be ordained without an interview and approval by the bishop. The bishop will consider things like attendance to Church, testimony, desire, etc. If your nephew isn't ready to make a covenant with the Lord, he shouldn't be forced to make it.

    I truely hope this is the case. it seems sometime they just want the numbers. I mean he fought with her about being baptized but in the end was baptized. If he had no desire why was he approved for it?

  3. So my nephew is turning 12 next week. They rarely go to church (like once in the past 6 months) My sister told me today that she was gonna call my dad and ask if he would ordain him. I told her I think she should ask him (my nephew) if he even wants to be a deacon (he didn't even know what it was when my other sister asked him). Anyway she had him baptized when they were inactive and he didn't even want to be baptized. I just don't think she should put that responsibility on him when he doesn't go to church. Am I being unrealistic in my thinking? I mean if I didn't go to church I wouldn't force it upon my kids, not that I force it now.
