How long do you think the bishop will make me refrain from certain things in the church? Also, do you think since i was young and was inactive and was not living with teachings of the gospel, and did not live with the teachings of the law of chastity that it will be different for me that of someone who was actively going to church ?

Has anyone else struggled with this? Will my bishop judge me and tel his counselors ? Will return missionaries think it is a turn off if I ever do plan on marrying one, and would I need to tell them about my past? Thank you for all your advice by the way.

So should I not go out on any dates with return missionaries until I repent of my sins ? Or should I in order to look forward to something? Suggestions and advice needed please

Will I be put on pobation at all? Like Not able to take the sacrament or be released from my calling as an activity co chair in my ward? After I talk to the bishop

I have been stuggling with what to do about my situation and was hoping posting this would help... Last year during the spring, I decided to come back to church, to become active again as I had been inactive my whole 4 years of highschool. My dad is not a member but my mother is and we had been going since i was about 15 years old, then she became inactive causing me to be as well. I went through high school without knowing the significance of keeping the law of chastity, temple marriage and so on. I broke the law of chastity while i was in high school with a guy that had a huge grasp on me mentally, he was a horrible person and I did not know how to control the situation, being young, niave and also not having a firm grasp on the significance of chastity, being that I had been inactive those crucial years of my life. Now that i am active in the church, I have been attending church for the past year, I have been praying and reading my scriptures and have grown a close relationship with my heavenly father, I am now deeply regretting my past. seeing my fellow members in my ward so pure and getting ready to be married in the temple, I feel so guilty and hopeless knowing that I can not enter into the temple because of my past. Is there a possibility that I can have a temple marriage after seeing the bishop and going through the repentance process? I am more than willing to go through the repentance process and gain worthiness to enter the temple, but my main concern is will that be possible to acheive? Being surrounded by so many good people in my ward, and going on dates with return missionaries, and being surrounded by their Spirit, I have come to see how significant it is to marry in the temple to a worthy preisthood holder and I want that for myself. Everyone at church makes me a better person and Im glad I have gotten my life together I just hope I can acheive a temple marriage and be worthy again..... Please help...
