Jia

I know this thread was months ago, but I'd like to throw my two cents in. Brad Frantz, one of the Trolley Square victims was my cousin. I was of course furious when I found out about what happened, but then I also heard that local Utahns have been giving the family of the killer money to help them out. I was so touched by that. It makes me happy to know that because one person did a horrible thing, it's not being taken out on others. The killer will be judged in his own time, and I'm so grateful for the support that everyone has been giving my family, and the families of the killer and the other victims.

I've only ever met one other RLDS and when she found out that I was LDS she was VERY mean to me. I'm glad to see another to make me know that they aren't all that way. (Though I never really believed that). She just gave me the impression that the RLDS church preaches that everyone should hate the LDS (her words, not mine). Hope you have fun with the missionaries. They are always so interesting to speak with!

Hola! I used to be a member of ldstalk over a year or so ago, wow has it changed! So much bigger! My name is Jessica (but my nickname is Jia) I have been married to my highschool sweetheart for 3 years, no kids yet but we're always trying. We're big animal lovers and currently have 9 dogs (technically only two cause our female Pug just gave birth to 7 puppies.) I'm going to school for Massage Therapy, and when my husband isn't working as a detention officer, he's going to college online for Video Game Design. Nice to be here!

Hey everyone. My husband and I were married in the temple over three years ago, and about a few months after we were married we became inactive (his work forced him to work on Sundays and from there it just got worse and worse.) We've tried going back in the past, but sometimes with such full force we kinda fall short of expectations. We've been given callings that didn't work out and we felt horrible for having to call substitutes everyweek cause we were too sick to go, too tired, or honestly just didn't want to go. Lately life has just been horrible. We fight more often, I personally feel empty, and life is giving us a raw deal. We both agree it's because we don't go to church. I want to get back to how we were right when we got married, or even before to be honest but I'm afraid if we go full force like always, we'll just crash and burn again and end up right back where we are. How can we take the small steps needed to get our lives back together? Financially we're desperate right now (both full time students and husband works 50+ hours weekly) and yet ends are not being met. We've been told to go to our local Bishop (with whom we still haven't met yet since we moved) to see if we can get some assistance, but we're both too embarassed to do so since we haven't even attended church in over a year. I just don't even know where to begin to fix things. Any suggestions? Anyone know how we're feeling? If so, how did you deal with it?
