  1. I smiled at the specific to do app because there really does seem to be so much to do! My advice would be just take things a step a time and enjoy it. I'd recommend the institute manuels the book of mormon one, new and old testements etc they are great guides to have while you read the scriptures. These can be bought at the temple or your libraian at church might be able to get them for you or let you borrow them. See if there is anyone going to the temple in your local ward and ask if you could go along too although you won't be able to go in just yet. It is lovely just to walk around the grounds and feel the spirit. Don't worry too much about the language either. My husband is a convert. I remember about a year after his baptism he stood up and bore his testimony is sacrement meeting and said good morning brethren. I said sweetie do you realise brethren means the men and doesn't include the women. He he he. It doesn't matter really. Your learning and trying your best. The Lord loves your efforts and I love to hear about them. Keep being strong
  2. I used to spend literally hours on the internet and computer games. A test was done on rats by some scientists. The rats had to press a button and randomly a treat would be dispensed but not always only randomly. So the rats just stood there pressing the button repeatedly till they got their treat. Makes me think A LOT of slot machines or even bashing away on a computer game. We got to be careful !
  3. Last movie I watched was Frankenweenie - wasn't blown away..
  4. I worked in a care home some time back and the little old ladies had a bingo once a week I used to pay a pound or two to join in. Think I might have a won some shampoo or something which I might have given to one of the old ladies. In a sense it is gambling as I was paying but I didn't look too deeply into it as I just saw as it as I was paying to join in. I think (and I could be wrong) the reason we're told not to gamble is that we should work for our money. Also gambling can and does become addictive and we should avoid things that can take away our freedom.
