FayetteIA Posted July 10, 2008 Report Posted July 10, 2008 Hi all. I found this site after I read this months Ensign article regarding sharing the gospel online. This is a cool place! Anyway..I am Joni my hubby is Jan we live in NE IA (currently) getting ready to relocate to the Phoenix, AZ area. We have 8 living kids btw us. We have each been the "highly-contagious" ward "singles" We have been married 14 yrs, we were sealed in Nauvoo Temple after a lengthy struggle to clear previous sealings (which we so wanted to give up the fight many times) We have each seen our share of opposition and adversity. I am sure we will see more. I was a real estate lending professional, my hubby is a truck driver. When we married, he saw so little of me, he sorta tricked me into going to TD school. He said if I was going to work so many hours, I might as well work them on the truck with him. I drove with him 10 years, until my knees gave out and I came home for surgery. I am a total diesel junkie, I love the road. Not your average Relief Society teacher/Family History Consultant. Someone asked me online:, How do I manage to teach Relief Society and drive truck? I said getting dispatch to get us home on time to teach my lesson each month is not the tricky part. The real challenge is getting all those sisters up in the truck so I can teach the lesson...fortunately we are in a small branch so they all fit nicely.:) I do not know where or what I would be without my membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Actually I do know..because years ago I was there. My life was on a clear collision course. I had only my wits to advise me. The Holy Ghost does a much better job than I ever could alone. To all of you who wonder, question or are undecided: "Just try it on" As Alma says "Experiment upon my words" Go to the source..go to the scriptures, have the courage to "try" Moroni's test. I did in 1971. While I have had much opposition as a member of the church, my peace has never been disturbed, my testimony never lost. Thank you for this great site. Quote
