It's about time for you all to hear some brazilian rock n roll.

What a lesson !!! this was really helpful, i do realize now that me and most of the people have been confusing love with lust, that's just terrible. i must keep what you taught here for the rest of my life. thanks.

health is one of the reasons they wouldn't let me go, i have vitiligo ( same disease that michael jackson had) it basically doesn't allow me to take sun, i have to always be protected by sunblocks, but i'm shure i can still serve with that, although the physicians says that they do not recommend working in the sun, but i have never had any problems when i use sunblocks. i will surely speak to the bishop, thanks.

lets add this question, the mission is a commandment, but the respect to the the family and parents are also a commandment, now, if my parents dont want me to serve a mission and i decide to serve anyway, would i be breaking a commandment to fullfill another?

i just finished high school and i am preparing for a lot of exams, to tell you the truth, getting a girlfriend now would trouble me a lot, but my main goal is to know what kind of woman i want to marry, i dont need to get a girlfriend right away, the thing is that for me marriage is something very hard, before i got to know the church i didn't want to get married actually, the idea of staying alone sounded great to me, now i am getting used to the idea of getting married although i already have 3 years of baptism.

that's how i came to know the church, the families that attend the church always got the atenttion of my family since my father made friends at his work ( he works at a farm that the church owns), at first that was how i decided to be a " mormon", their families were something i've never seen anywhere before, the general manager ( he was from the united states ) of the farm was always inviting dad for dinner and we were increasing our curiosity about the "mormon church", after all these years, i'm still active and going. but thats it, the main thing that made me baptize in the church was because of families.

i have seen this over and over in my life, after all, it might just be the fun between a man and his wife, that might help keep the flame of love lit. this thing i'll remember when the time to choose my beloved wife falls on me. Thanks @MormonGator

wow, did you serve in Brazil ? have some knowledge of portuguese ? haha.

this gave me a new perspective, everybody around was everytime saying that i should go to the mission whatever the costs may be, and well, now i realize that it is not exactly like that. i dont know if i have this kind of faith, for me to marry someone, it will only happen if first i feel passion. yep, i live nearby the capital of Brazil. I hope my english is at least understanble for you all.

and i'm ok about pornography. i'm far away from this sin.

let's add something else to this thread which i worry a lot about marriage. can i keep on loving someone the entire life?

So, my parents are not baptized in the church, i really wanted to go, but for that, i would need their permission. i dont really know what to do so they can allow me to serve.

So, i'm 18 Years old, i wanted to know what's important to consider someone for marriage. I am really confused, you know that the heart will fall in love with anyone that looks pretty enough, and that's something bad. In the midst of these " pretty enough" which one should I choose, what qualities should I look for?

Can You be more specific please?
