Thanks, Vort. I DID speak with my Bishop...Hence the confusion. I have always believed all of your blessings would be immediately restored. So the conversation we (The bishop and I) had earlier certainly confused me. I inquired how I would get garments for after my baptism without a recommend, and he replied that I would not be allowed to wear garments again for one year. I questioned him about it and then he said he wasn't sure. My baptism is in a few days and I would like to be sure before it comes.
