  1. I second this! Whittling of fingers. I'm going to tell!?
  2. I was driving in Michigan yesterday. Very scary. Lots of accidents! Be safe!
  3. Warning. The following is lengthy and very boring unless you are planning to move to the great white north! ? Dear Tuck, sorry I am having some problems quoting so I think that I have posted empty replies. Firstly, yes you would fit right in here. You would find that most of us are kindred spirits including most of the saints. Second, in most instances to move to Canada you need a job. Teachers are paid well here, are well respected and have great benefits. Consequently the chances of finding a job here as a teacher, unless you have a relative who is a school principle, is zero. To be blunt, it is not even worth trying. We are pumping out teachers every year and there is no chance that they will find jobs. How do I know? I belong to a small ward and we all get involved in trying to find jobs for those in our ward. I have an interview with a young person tomorrow on just this topic. Re:teaching jobs-We have one young woman who worked abroad as a teacher and is back home trying to find a job. We are racking our brains. To move to C, you need to convince a company that you are just what they need. In turn the company has to convince the government that no appropriate Canadian is available. In my line of work, we do this all the time but everyone that I work with has a phd. Health care is free. Drugs are not but if you have a job, they are usually paid for by the employer. Camping is cheap but this is the land of winter. June to September is campable. Otherwise not recommended. Instead how about Airbnb, flip key, vrbo. i have lived in Ontario, all over, Manitoba, Saskatchewan. No one in my family will make use of the education subsidy because we all work long hours, have lots of education, and consequently earn above such all reasonable cut offs. One possibility, stay in the states but send your son to school here. Check out Brandon university in Manitoba. Very reasonable fee. Avoid university PEI. All universities in Canada give a good education. Uni education is much more standardized here with the glaring exception of PEI which should be shot. Another to consider is grant mcewan Alberta. Hope this helps!
  4. Dear Mad, If you sincerely want to know if the church is true and you are willing to do whatever God asks of you, then I suggest that you commit to praying to know if the church is true. You could commit to 15 minutes earnest prayer daily. Call this your prayer marathon, 15 minutes daily for as long as it takes. During this marathon commit to the Lord that you will strictly live the commandments, eg attend church, pay tithing, be careful about the media that you watch or listen to, etc. In addition, I read a very useful book called "Shaken Faith Syndrome" by Michael Ash. It goes through most of the lds responses to the antimormon argue nets. Highly recommend! i was inactive for more than 20 years. You can do this!
  5. This was a wonderful message. New to me. Thank you for posting!
  6. I loved the Sunday Forever 21! Thanks for rhe shout out! Oh boy, thanks for the offer of help. Now I get to get rid of that silly shadow. You are the best!
  7. Thank you for the suggestions. I have tried to get a real picture of almost anything but the system keeps telling me that the picture or drawing that I am trying to load is too big. Can anyone suggest a source of loadable pic or drawings?
  8. I've been to Denmark and they are a lovely people. I really admired their honor system for paying on the subway system. Everyone seemed very honest.
  9. Once again...move to Canada! ?You will be most welcome here. Okay it is a little cold and we do talk funny but Ontario is introducing free university education for the poor. I am thrilled! We may be introducing a minimum level of income for everyone. Most saints in my city are quite socialist. You would be quite comfortable here. I suspect that there are many lds social democrats in Europe and Australia and that they are very comfortable with being lds and holding their political views.
  10. Call or write your elderly relatives as soon as possible! Get the names and dates for them and their family. Don't let them shuffle off this mortal coil before you get round to contacting them. No better time than now. Pick up the phone. Send a letter!
  11. Dear Investigator, I normally never disagree with the super adorable Gator, but as a convert I strongly suggest going to the temple to do baptisms as soon as possible...especially if things start going wrong in your life. Things in my life were really going wrong so I stopped waiting for my lovely, but highly disorganized ward to find someone to escort me. I made the 4 hour trip myself! Got the temple recommend 1st of course.
  12. That is a great little book and not just for youth! I used to take it on dates with me and explain that these were the rules we were going to follow. One chap threw the book to the other side of the room and told me earnestly that we did not have to obey those rules because we were 'older'. That little book really sorted the sheep from the goats!
  13. Welcome! We are very pleased to have you on board!
  14. Hi Zion! Frequently I need to be determined that no matter what the consequences, I will follow the Lord's guidance even if that means giving up what is most important to me...then He communicates with me. Good luck!
  15. I ? you!
  16. Don't worry about it. I look very familiar to almost everyone. People stop their cars on the street and get out to greet me. They get very embarrassed when they realize I am not their cousin Sally. I have a dreadful time getting through borders!
  17. When Jesus called the apostles was He looking for worldly experience? Lots of fishermen and a tax collector. But Dahlia, you are surely a Canadian at heart. Come on up and join us. We have an incredibly gender and ethnically diverse cabinet. The premier of my province is gay. Come on up here, you know you want to!
  18. I knew a sister who was from the tribe of Levi.
  19. When you go this afternoon, feel the grass! Just kidding! We heard Pres Uchtdorf say that there had been some dissenting votes and that those people should see their stake presidents. That's all. Lucky you to see conference live. We all wish we were there with you.
  20. I have high hopes for global warming!
