Basically I need to give a letter to a member in another stake. I met him at priest laurel, and I have a letter that needs to get to him. The thing is I don't know his name or really anything about him. Here's what I know: He talked 2nd in the testimony meeting. He took the "The temple: i'm going there someday" class (with me). He's in the Buffalo NY stake. When he was younger he also died but then received a priesthood blessing and I know a bit more indepth about this story. So, Whats the best way do you think of getting this letter to him? If I could somehow find the Buffalo NY Stake YM's president I could get the letter to him that way. Where could I find the Buffalo NY Stake YM's presidents info? I'm not in the Buffalo Stake so I don't have acesss to it on lds.org do I ?

I was actually in it once before as well :) But, its still really cool. If only I could find the actual copy...I looked on the churchs website and saw it. I haven't see the print copy of the New Era yet.

https://lds.org/new-era/2011/06/instant-messages?lang=eng So, check your June 2011 new Era Under "Instant Messaging" My lil piece is called "Gospel Messaging" Elisabeth H, New York, USA I wrote the article years ago haha.

No, you didn't say other wise. But, you said "unoffical gospel" when if its a quote from the church it would be official wouldn't it?

haha, well not everyone has a mother they can ask :) I do, but perhaps this young women didn't. I've babysat at members houses and done there laundry. Plus, what girl doesn't ramble through there mothers closet? from those experiences alone I wouldn't need to ask any questions :) Backroads, the church has said as long as both the female and male in the marriage are okay with it then its fine.( Some quote somewhere thats a ton better worded.) And, lingerie fits into that. Off topic a bit: I always look at the word lingerie and in my head I say "ling-erie."

I agree with Gwen here. If I was in a temple recommend interview and was told this I would be really uncomfortable regardless of the fact that all 3 of the bishopric members are very close famiky friends. I'd rather have a straight up answer not some jokey response. If one of them said such a thing I'd probably pretend to laugh it off and after the interview be somewhat confused and contemplate it to the point I'd probably bring it to my mother.

I've noticed them ever since I was younger. My parents walk around in there garments, I always assumed the markings were there to reinforce the area or had the same sort of purpose that darts on women blouses have. I think I was 12 before I realized how ridiculous that sounded and a bit later I babysat for a lady in my ward and she drove me home and we talked a bit and somehow ended up talking about the temple and garments :) At which point I understood a bit more. Nothing more then I should, just that they represented something. :)

I'm also curios about that. My seminary teacher does this and he has a church job up keeping the church historical sites. It's always sorta miffed me.

I got the scholarship. $4,000 bucks :) The 3rd biggest scholarship my school offers (130ish scholarships from school and local community). My friend Steph got 5,500. We're both going to BYU Idaho. The Mormons raked it in :)

hahah thats hilarious. Sounds like the sorta thing I'd say. But, I've resigned from teasing him for now. Tonight my school had a scholarship award ceremony (in which I got $4,000 ) and before it started she came up to me and apologized as well. My mother was adamant that it was all my fault from the beginning until that happened. So, its good my mom now knows how this lady can really over do it.

So, if someone baptizes someone unworthily should the baptism be repeated?

And, where does it say this in the scriptures? or modern day text? I was talking to a friend and his thought was which still makes sense to me...

Well today he came up to me and apologized profusely for his mothers actions and his. So, its all good. Turned out better then I thought.

So, I went to priest laurel. And, basically his sister told me he wasn't crying at all. He just wanted to get out of going and out of chores. So, I decided not to give him the note. If he wants to be a jerk about it all he can. I don't need the drama and I'm just gonna ignore it all together. I talked with the ym's leader (from my ward, pretty chill guy :)) who was him chaperone and he agreed it was all drama and I didn't do anything wrong. So yea, I'm good, And I don't care if he wants to cause trouble.

I'm not really sure what I'm looking for either. Just anything really. I've written the apology note. I never realized it escalated to this.

So basically I walk in the door and the phone rings and my mom is getting SCREAMED at about me. I've never had this happen, if anything phone calls about me are people telling my mom about something good I've done or my teacher calling and saying I'm doing well in school. I'm not the type to cause problems. There are 2 laurels (me and my good friend S.) and two priests (J and A.) Apparently I have made J feel awful to the point he doesn't want to go to school, to seminary, to priest laurel conference this weekend or anything involving me. I never realized that I was making him feel uncomfortable. J is my friend S brother. The three of us are around each other all the time. He is dating a friend of mine Abbey. i fully support there relationship. Me and my friend S, basically as a joke figured out in our minds how my family, hers and a few other mutual family friends would have to marry to have everyone related. It was a joke, and It wasn't ever supposed to intend any feelings. She knew that, I knew that, the other families involved knew that. We were all just sitting around talking about how fun big family reunions would be. So, for the past week or so I've been teasing J. Nothing over the top, its just a running joke. Or, so i thought. His sister was joking about us getting married, or something like that and I made some random comment about how I'm controlling and I'd have to take care of the wedding. Basically little things like that. Jon is somewhat cocky about his looks and his sister teases him about it as does the rest of his family and friends. I made some sort of comment. I don't even remember what. I never felt I was over stepping the line at all. I assumed everyone involved knew it was a joke and it was more of a laughing joking thing. So, me and my friend have kept this going for a bit. It always received laughs. At one point J said he was uncomfortable to the point he got up and moved. J tends to be very dramatic. We all assumed this is what he was doing. He even joked later when he got a fortune cookie that said "You've been running through my mind all day" that it was about me. I laughed about it. Later, I tripped in front of him completley on accident and got a huge bruise. His comment: Looks like your falling for me. All of this, I assumed, was a complete joke. Again, I fully support him and his girlfriend and in no way meant any harm. My mother got a phone call from him mom. Saying I was 'out of control" and that seminary was canceled because of me. Apparently. J is at home throwing a fit about going tonight because he doesn't want to see me. I never got that it was upsetting him. Looking back I realize now there was some things i should have been paying attention to. His dad (seminary teacher) said something like "please stop harnessing my son" He didn't say it seriously and I didn't understand until now that was his way of trying to tell me what was going on. At one point this week me and s were talking about another guy at school who we both think is very funny. And, J said something like "Wait, I thought I was your future!" as a joke. I concluded in a split second that he wasn't bothered by the comments. I mean, we joke around and say things a lot and laugh them of. So, now basically I've caused this big issue. And, my moms instructed me not to talk to him for the rest of the weekend and longer until things work itself. Out. Apparentley she said I told him he was "a hunk and I wanted to have his babies." I never said it like that at all. His sister may have mentioned something and I may have a made a comment. I remember saying in response to something my friend said "J junior. That sounds cute." I never said "I want to have your babies." So, basically I feel awful. I never realized this whole thing was going on. I just can't believe my friend never said anything to me. I don't have any feelings for him (Which I'm pretty dang sure he knows.) And, I just am so unsure of what to do. But, I'm not supposed to talk to him. I plan on writing a letter and having my friend (his sister) give it to him and I'll ask S. how serious it is. I'm not sure if hes being overdramtic, my friend never told me he felt like this. Or maybe he just wants to get out of youth conference. I don't know. But, I feel so bad. I've been crying and all. I don't want him to feel this way. I see him completley as a close friend, one whom I talk with about loads of things! I've never been in this sorta situation..or even close. I wish I had realized this all earlier, or wish he had pulled me aside. Also: His girlfriend isn't the problem here. I mean, we're super close. I've talked to her about it, she doesn't care at all. it's just him. And, appeartley his family.

I'm so close!

In my ward it would be presented in Sacrement meeting :) The duty to God is presented in sacrement meeting as is the YW medallion. An addition to either programs you would assume should be regognized during sacrement meeting.

Hey, personally I'd pick Northen Ireland. What program is this if you don't mind me asking? I'll be heading off to college in the fall and I'm interested in eventually doing a study abroad.

When I think about my future life I think about it in two ways.... my life if the second coming comes and the millennium. And my life if it doesnt. And my life as an old grandma when it does.

Once a bishop, always a bishop. Or so is the line used in my family :)

Hey everyone, I received my Patriarchal blessing one year ago today. My stake Patriarch asks people to send them a letter on there 1 year mark. So, I'm writing mine Is it Elder M, Brother M, or Patriarch M ?

A lady in my ward has a 19 yr old daugher, and while shes not a kid she does have special needs. I spent a few days with her when her mom was really sick and dad out of town. She's truly amazing. Would it be okay to mention that and my experiences in getting to know her? If BYU Idaho had a special needs minor I would deff be doing that. My minor is teaching english to students as a second lanaguage.

I'm going against 10 classmates for a $4,000 dollar scholarship. The scholarship is for students in my high school majoring in education. The interview focuses on "your experiences working with children and your abilities to pay for college during the interview." and "Why you want to be a teacher" I babysit a lot. I've watched 5 kids for a week straight while their parents went on vacation. However, I will be majoring in English Education on a secondary level. I'll be teaching middle school or high school. Both of my parents are currently attending the local community college. They are finishing their pre-reqs. They have both been accepted and will attend RN school this fall. Therefore, neither of my parents are working and my family survives on financial aid, scholarship money and money from two houses we rent. I have a 0 EFC (Expected family contribution) on my FAFSA. Also, the teacher doing the interview absolutely adores me. He was my advisor for yearbook and my teacher freshman year. I still go in to talk sometimes :) I obviously plan on dressing interview appropriate. My interview is Wednesday any advice? Also, My good friend died in a fire two Saturdays ago. As a memory to him we all got a red streak in our hair (he had a red streak in his hair for winter spirit week). My hair is brown. Everyone at school knows why my hair is red (along with 30 other students). Should I dye it out? Or, I could just layer brown on top of the red. I can make it really unnoticeable if I try.

The mother actually has her work schedule posted. I usually look to the week ahead and see if shes working. Sometimes she'll tell me that her brother might be in town and she won't need me. She hasn't called yet. So, I'll be free this weekend. yay for that...to bad everyones taking there SAT's.
