Thank You all so very much....... I really feel "at home" here...........

Hi everyone... I currently reside in Spencer, Oklahoma (a suburb of Oklahoma City)... A lil about myself.... I was born and raised in South Jordan, Utah... I've been all over the world (16 years on active duty in the Army) I got out of the Army in 1996 & stayed here in Oklahoma... ALL my family lives in Utah. I was born into a 6th-7th generation LDS family but because of alot of promiscuity (spelling ?) I was ex-communicated at the age of 17(much to the dismay of my family, specially my Dad who was in the Bishopric at the time) I then re-joined the church at the age of 30 while I was stationed in Georgia. I went thru the Atlanta, Georgia Temple and received my endowments. In 1992 I was slated for a 1 year tour of duty in Cairo, Egypt. On my leave to Utah before Egypt, I was able to meet with Elder Neal A. Maxwell in his office in SLC. That meeting was very special !!!! Unfortunately around that time is when I went inactive. I havent set foot in a church in prolly 15 years. All of my family are strong LDS members, except me. After listening to several of my FAVORITE hymns (The Spirt Of God Like a Fire is Burning, How Firm a Foundation, Praise to the Man, We Thank Thee oh God for a Prophet, Come Come Ye Saints etc) I feel a strong desire to return to rightous living and to church.

Thank You all, I REALLY APPRECIATE IT...... Brenda

Hi all...... I've recently viewed some YouTube videos of my favorite hymns, and for the last 3 days I have had nothing on my mind but the church.... I feel comfortable in writing this... I just dont know where to start... I would like to see about becomming active again... although I am a lil scared... (LONG & troublesome history about me and the church). Anyways, I have NO idea who to talk to or where to go... I really dont need to see missionaries.... I'd appreciate any advice you all may have.. thanks, Brenda^_^
