I was baptized when I was 18 years old and walked away from the Church when I was 21. The thing that brought me back to the Church was when my father and mother passed. For years after they passed I couldn't get over their passing. I would go to their graveside all the time and cry. But... as time went along the spirit kept speaking to me about the ordinances we can do for the dead. Truthfully I didn't know much about it...but, I knew just enough that I decided to start working on my family genealogy. While working on that I started going back to Church. The first thing I did when I was able to was to get baptized for my family members that crossed over. Of course at first all I could do was the baptisms, but I was blessed to be able to get my endowments done in 8 months and then I could do all the work for the females. I cannot begin to tell you the burden that was lifted off my shoulders knowing that my mom and dad's work was done and that someday I will see them again along with all my other family that the work is being done for. As stated above... they either accept it or they don't. We just do the work and it's up to them to accept. I don't cry anymore and haven't since their work has been done. Yes... of course I miss them so much but I know families can be together forever and that's what makes all the difference in the world. I say... GO FOR IT! You won't be sorry.

I wonder how I am going to get my lessons done since I can't seem to stay out of my forum, this forum, and FB. Boo on ME!

I read this immediately after it was posted and felt the blood rush to my head. No way was I going to answer at that point. Maybe I was a little afraid to answer because I did not want to rock the boat. I totally agree with the yjacket's post and the other post below yjacket's. The only thing that I probably don't understand about the Bishop is why he didn't stop the interview by saying he would need to have another person in with him due to the information he was receiving from this young girl. In this day and age you cannot be to careful. I know someone that was in the same situation... not a minor... but a male adult. They were telling the truth when speaking about some of the same things this minor was lying about. The Bishop listened for a certain amount of time...but, when it got to a point, he stopped the interview and reset another appointment stating that he needed to confer with his counselor's WITHOUT giving up the person involves confidentiality. He also told this person that there may be a chance that someone else may need to be involved in the interview at a later time. As it turned out...this person ended up needing to speak directly to the Stake President. I wish this Bishop would have done the same thing. I pray he does not get into trouble... unless of course he is a pervert... which I doubt. Praying for this minor that she makes a change in her life. She is totally on the wrong path. Praying for the parents that they will be able to help this minor through the tough teen years.

We ride...but, never went to the Temple on our Hayabusa. We live in Utah and get to ride a lot. We also have dirt bikes. This is my husband and me. Photo is manipulated to get both of us on the bike in the picture. LOL

I wonder if Dr T heard me snort when I read that?

I wonder why I was at SLC airport for so many hours today and could not get a standby flight to Oregon? So sad!

I wonder what flight I will get out on. Standby sucks.

I wonder if I will be flying to Oregon or driving there? I wonder if I can find someone to drive me to the airport if I fly? I wonder if my husband is as excited to see me as I am to see him? I wonder about a lot of things.

I wonder if Dr T has checked the trash. No one likes doing dishes... and the trash is the first place I checked when I was missing utensils. lol

I have actually come back into this thread quite a few times to read it and each time the same thought stands out for me. You said your husband was clearly overweight when you were dating him... yet you married him anyway. What was it in your husband that made you fall in love with him? He was overweight already...but, you still fell in love with him and married him. My husband is overweight...was over weight when we got married. BUT... he is an honorable man. An honorable priesthood holder. He is loving, kind, willing to please, helpful, caring, loves me to pieces, loves our children, grand children, church going, holds a calling... I could go on and on...but, those are a few of the things I love about him. His weight has nothing to do with him being all of the above and then some.His weight is HIS issue not mine. I look at it as an addiction to food. He loves to eat and I bet your husband does too. Trying to get on a controlled eating pattern is key to losing weight. All the high carbs, sugars, etc continue to make a person hungry. You are not going to change him... he has to change himself. But, pressuring him probably will just make him want another piece of cake or whatever. I guess my point is... YOU dated him being overweight and married him while he was still overweight. You loved him then... but, now the weight becomes an issue? I believe there is something far more going on in the marriage. Ask yourself, "Why now and what changed"? Try to find that out before you jump to divorce.

I wonder what day I will be leaving to Oregon?

During the time that I didn't have a calling, I indexed. When I have a calling, I usually don't have the time to do much with it. I have no idea if our Ward has any reward system..I only knew about indexing because I was looking for some information for genealogy and came across the indexing.

I wonder if Debi knows that her posts touched my heart... prayers sent up.

I wonder if you can say them backwards?

Welcome to the forum.

I wonder why my dog loves spongebob?

I wonder how my meeting with the Bishop tonight will go?

I wonder if we are going to get to make our driving trip across the United States this summer?

The Firm... yup, very old movie, but I really liked it the first time I saw it and I ran across it on Amazon and it was free to watch. Still really liked it.

The best advice I received was, "Get back in church NOW!" Yup... that would be it and I am so glad I listened. Love this Church so much.

I wonder what Pam would do if you touched her gumdrops.

I thought I was the only Mormon in my whole family until I started doing serious genealogy work about 4 years ago. I made a mistake on something that I entered and this person, whom I never heard of sent me an email to tell me that who I had as my Great Great Grandmother was actually named Sue and not Elizabeth. Come to find out this person is an LDS relative of mine going back on my mother's side. I am not sure how far back my family has been involved...but, at least I know that there are a few of us converts. I was baptized in 1971 and my parents never mentioned anyone else in the family being LDS... so I just don't have a clue.

I wonder what I would do if someone took my computer away from me. YIKES!

Happy Birthday!
