Background
Like nearly all of you, I've been stuck at home for the last few months. I was going through my YouTube subscription feed when I found this video from a channel I'm subscribed to:
Youtube Video - "Living on a Self-Sufficient Sailboat for 10 Years + FULL TOUR"
The video essentially showcases a family that lives on a sailboat and travels the world. They rarely stay in one place for more than a few weeks. They earn money from crowdfunding. According to an article titled "Can You Live On A Sailboat Year Round?" on a website called Life of Sailing, there are estimated to be 50,000-100,000 people worldwide that live this lifestyle.
Though my life situation would make it extremely difficult to pursue that lifestyle, there is something rather tempting about living on a sailboat with my family. However, I can't see any way that a person living that lifestyle could also be an active member of the church.
Questions/Prompts
Let's assume that I live on a sailboat with my wife and children and we travel the world together. I live temple worthy. I go to church nearly every Sunday, though it's always a different church. I go to the temple as often as I'm close to one. I keep the sabbath day holy and teach my family to keep the commandments and follow Jesus Christ. I try to share the gospel across the world wherever I'm allowed to.
1. Could I hold a temple recommend while living this lifestyle?
2. Would I be asked to give up such a lifestyle?
3. Does the church have guidelines for persons in situations such as the one I described?
4. Are wards/stakes always defined geographically? How could I hold a calling?
5. Do you know of any active members of the church that live a lifestyle like this?
