Hello Pepper! Welcome! I would liek to tell you an all new ones remember to study the BASICS well. People who are not that interested in basics but hurry on with their studyes to some more doctorinal may get in trouble as they dont really understand teh basics. I been a member for 30+ years and I still have questions. Some of them I know I wont get an answer when stil here, but later. We will be happy to help you in your studies. Oh adn yes I am ... like my 18 year old son says : mom is always 21! He says it with a big smile.. then I know he wants something.... KIDS!

Welcome. I have 2 kids out of Church and one on mision and one waiting for to get out of school and on the mision. It is not easy for the kids today. I hope your sons get a different view during years. Some good friends in LDS church might help... some nice activities...

Hello and welcome! Mission sounds great! I wish I had been able to be a misionary, but I had a family when I joined, so it never got to that.

Welcome. Enjoy the forum now that you have come out of the shadows!

Hi Ann from California! Nice to met you!

Hello Sweet and welcome. I hope you will find help here. Yes we all struggle.. around 10 years of marriage and you sure struggle... but believe me it will pas if you manage to let it flow. Guys can be really irritating sometimes... that is just the way it is... just keep to the right adn do your best. See you around!

As I red that story during week... when I came EXCACTLY to that place... I just felt that someone out there needs to know this. An other good one is Acts 8 28-38. Yes we dont need the perfect knowledge we just need to 1. Acknowledge Jesus Christ and His atonement for us 2. repend, and we are good to get wet! All the rest will be taught to us bit by bit by the Holy Spirit (as we have the gift as members). Basics have to be strong to build big!:) Happy building!

HI Lilac great to hear that you are progressing in your investigation. Yes for a newcomer adult it may seem a bit weird the way things are. I think many LDS forget that the newcomer probably dont knwo any of the stories... soem dont know them fron the OT or NT either. You know thare is the thing called seminary for those 14-18 in this seminary they go through all 4 scriptures... one each year. Then for the young adults there is an Institutt where they go trought them again and often there is an Institutt for the grown ups too. Try to find out if there is an adult Institutt close enough for you to attend. Many of us ... like me (who also was a lutheran) learn the stories by reading the stories to my kids from a Scripture Stoory Book that had the stories written for kids, or by working in primary or the youth sundayschool. I agree with you a new convert is a bit at loss because he/she dont know the stories... but you learn them by reading. I also was/am missing the small studygroups. But there are the Istituts... if ther is one close enough. Otherways one can buy the Institutt book and have a selfstudy which you can also take free from BYU on internett. And there is LDS.net! Otherways it could be nice for you to ask missionaries over once a week to tell you a new story every time. I think members have so much to do, that to have one more group study in the week would be too much... depending how colse you live to one an other... like her the distances can be like 10 miles. I think Institutt is the closest to what you are asking about... but that too is all too full of things to teach so there is not much time for discusition. Study of scriptures is left quite a bit for every family to do how ever they like to do it, but it is said everyone should read a bit every day together and by yourself. I understand well how you feel... I felt like that too when they put me to Primary to teach the next Sunday after my babtizement... 25 years in Primary has tought me well the stories though... Dont worry... you will eventually learn them all... easiest is to read childrens books or see DVDs. When you get the gift of the Holy Ghost the scriptures will eventually open to you in a way you never dreamed of. Institutt books are very good to have. You can get them from the church or Deseret Books. Acts 8:28-38 I just add this from Deliahs thread it was about a story in the Meridian magazine... link is in that thread in my post: As I red that story during week... when I came EXCACTLY to that place... I just felt that someone out there needs to know this. An other good one is Acts 8 28-38. Yes we dont need the perfect knowledge we just need to 1.

Welcome Jatt. Enjoy!

Hi Rainy.. welcome! Enjoy.

Dear Dahlia. My testimony on titings: My husband of 9 years had left me and my girls. We had build a big house which we payed (my mom that it) him out. He kept paying the loan though. He did not inform his moving to officials and thus was able to skip paying a cent to me to survive with the girls. I was studying and got monthly some money from the student stipend and loan. I could have taken up loan, but bad thing about loan is that you have to pay it back. The money was not enough and with one small kid and one a bit bigger I could not go to work in the evenings. Anyway Christmas was closing and I got my money, the last sum I would get before Janyary. All except some 30 $ went to bills and titings. So 3 weeks to Christmas and 30$ to survive with if I payed the titings. Even if I did not pay the titings it would be tight, as the money I got was not much and 10% was even less. I sighed and closed my eyes and tought... well Hevenly Father, you have promised to take care of your children... I have a bit of a mayday here now and I would so much like to have a Christmas for my kids. I did not eat during the week but staked cabbage (it was pretty usuall for me in thoise days). Kids got real good warm food in school so I did not need to worry about them. All we bought home was cerials and youghort and some bread and milk. But I knew teh 30$ would not last long. Sunday I went to the church as usual with the kids.... smiling like always. Then the bishop suddenly winked me over to him. I said to my friend .. what ever it is I did nto do it... adn we grinned. I had NOT told anyone about my special moneytrobles, I suppose the bishop knew I did not have so very much.. there is somethign about the birds of heaven.... Maya ... there is this family who moved to USA... I had given them my kids old bikes and something else and tried to help them when they moved to Finland a few years ago... a very nice family. I looked like a questionmark. "Well they had prayed and they felt that I could use this.... " He pushed thowards me on the table a 500$ note (the biggest papermoney printed in Finland, I just say $ to make it more understndable... values match about) I knew and trusted that my Hevenly Father would help me to get over Christmas in a way or an other... but I never expected this. I just started to cry. I hardly manged to whisper thank you. So I have a very stron testimony of the titings, yet I have not always been able to keep ajoure, sometimes I payed too much or in advance sometimes I have payed a month later. I know He knows I would not deny anything from Him... it may just take some time to arrange. Here is an interesting and touching story of one convert: Meridian Magazine - A Remarkable Journey to Mormonism Part Three
