Say what?? But isn't Nathan her father? Man, I got lots to look forward to Say no more

My little sister (not so little as she is taller than me ) who I have become very close to (since moving to Malaysia) calls me Susie (that and the fact that I am not very creative sometimes).. The SA is for where I am from and represents part of who and what I am :)

Thank you Wordflood for sharing... What a wonderful poem

Thanks LT04 Forgive me for sounding silly by asking this Do I put the sister's adopted surnames on the group sheet? And Do I just not do the half-brother at all? Thanks again

This will be my first mother's day as a mommy Hubby is very excited about that... Not sure what he has planned I can remember always making breakfast in bed for my mom & then giving her whichever gift we had got for her that year...

Thanks LT04 & Alaskagain for your replies.. .I appreciate it :) LT04, I am aware that I can't do any actual Temple work for them as, yes, they are still alive. I figured that I could at least have a bit of a go at it to make it easier for my children. My hubby knows very little about his biological parents as he was very young when he was fostered. My main problem at the moment is that he has only just (as in a few days ago) made contact with his biological father... I feel rather uncomfortable asking too many questions (as it would be me doing the asking) until I know him a bit better. I also don't want him to get the wrong impression of me. I will be meeting him for the first time next month when we go to SA for holiday. I must admit that I am feeling very anxious about this meeting. I will defeintly have a look at Genweb as soon as I have more info. I am almost positively sure that none of his biological family are memebers - at least not the ones that I have met. Alaskagain, thanks for the suggesion to Google search "South African Genealogy".. It hadn't even occured to me to do that I now have another question... My hubby has 2 biological sisters (both of whom were adopted).. He also has a half brother from his biological father. Would these three be included on the family group sheets with notes of their adoptions etc or are they left out? Thank you so very much to those who have replied to my previous questions :)

Thanks for the info LT04 I appreciate it...

Congrats to the both of you </span>[ What a lovely name.. I too had a c-section (not by choice) when my little one was born Hope you are getting lots of And that you have your little one home with you very soon :)

First of all, Welcome to LDS Talk... I know that you will love it here While I myself am not in a mixed LDS marriage I have seen many that have been very sucessful. And in some of these cases the spouse has joined after a few years. I agree very much with what mamacat says :)

I personally do not love history... The main reason is that I am so very pathetic with dates On the other hand I did enjoy learning about the events themselves. Church history as well as secular. I feel that history is very relavent to what is happening in the world today :)

I am curious to know how to find out which homeschooling system (so to speak) is accepted where... And how do you go about getting approval etc As the eductional systems obviously varies depending on the country.

I am just curious as to what everyone's favourite scripture(s) are :) Mine are: Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 and Alma 29:1-10

Daily Gems The Assurance That Comes with Testimony --------------------------------------------------- "Nurtured through righteous living, [a] testimony of Jesus becomes the governing force in all that a person does. Furthermore, it is available to everyone, for 'God is no respecter of persons' (Acts 10:34). "Acquiring such a testimony does not, however, come without personal effort. One must desire to know, study to learn, live to merit, and pray to receive. When so pursued in humility and faith, the knowledge comes, and with this knowledge comes both the sweet assurance that all will be well and the inner strength to make it so." Topic: testimony (Bishop Keith B. McMullin, "Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee," Ensign, May 2004, 33)

Spiritual Knowledge Is a Matter of Faith --------------------------------------------------- "The living reality of Christ is associated with the Restoration of His gospel and its message 'that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world, that Joseph Smith is his revelator and prophet in these last days, and that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the Lord's kingdom once again established on the earth' (Book of Mormon introduction). "This spiritual confirmation by the power of the Holy Ghost is given on the Lord's conditions to anyone who is willing to ask in faith, believing that an answer can come by that power. It starts by listening to the voice of the Lord, His servants, His prophets and apostles, and it continues by giving heed to their words. Spiritual knowledge of the Restoration is a matter of faith." Topics: Restoration, Savior, revelation, faith (Charles Didier, "Man's Search for Divine Truth," Ensign, Nov. 2005, 49)

Thank you Shade and LT04 Part of me hoped it would be either one or the other My hubby spent most of his life with his foster parents. This is how he got baptised into the church (as they were both members) I know that his foster sister has been doing allot of temple work for that line. He has never had any real contact with his biological parents. He went looking for his biological mother a few years ago & has not really had any contact with her since. He made contact with his biological father a few days ago for the first time since I have known him. Not I have another question... Where do I go if all I have from this line is his biological parent's names & nothing else? Would we need to get permission from their families (who we have not clue on how to contact them.. let alone even know who they are) to do their temple work? I guess I had better get cracking

YAYYYYYY!!!!! Welcome back for real now Missed you terribly Congrats on getting your "powers" back

Let me give a little bit of a background before asking my quesion... My hubby at a very young age was fostered. He was never adopted by his foster parents (even though they really wanted to - long story). He was eventually sealed to his foster parents (in fact he was given special permission on his mission to be able to do that). So my question is this: How does him being sealed to his foster parents affect Family History on his side? Do I follow his biological route or his foster family? Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated

Oh that was so very cute... Thank you Dr T

Hi JcDean78 Welcome to LDS Talk I am sure you will love it here... I know I do :) How exciting to have your first little one on the way.. I had my first bundle of joy almost 3 months ago... Lots of great memories in store for you and I am sure that you will love it

Works for me sometimes.. But then again it depends on the chocolate and it only lasts a little while so I do end up eating it a few mins later

Hey Cinderella Wishing you happy belated birthday wishes.. Hope it was a great one

Ooooo, Dr T.. Those are by far the best :) The fact that I am Swiss has nothing to do with it Lol

the only ones who get Sacrament in the hall should be the parent who took the noisy kid outside. I must agree with you on that one Palerider

Hi Jia.. I honestly don't think that you need to worry about getting excommunicated or disfellowshiped. Just work on the small things... You will be just fine You have the best person on your side... Heavenly Father
