mcdoodle Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Ok, they left a little bit ago and it went great. They were so cute!! Anyway, my husband actually sat in and asked questions, etc. He even set up an appointment tomorrow for us to go & get a tour of the church!! So it was pretty great. I am so elated I bought myself a cheeseburger to celebrate!! I wish I had more questions to ask them, but I have researched most of the questions I had initially and so couldn't think of new ones. But they were so nervous, it was adorable! Also, they loved my giant dog. So...maybe we'll even go to church this Sun. as A FAMILY. Something I didn't imagine was really possible. So thanks everyone for your advice, it worked great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misshalfway Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Well, that sounds like it all turned out wonderfully. I am glad you had a good experience with the Elders and with your H's reaction to it all. Best wishes as you move forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcdoodle Posted August 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Final update... we had a tour of the church with the missionaries today and my husband thought we should go to church on Sunday together as a family. I am still reeling from this. No one ridiculed a belief in Jesus more than my husband. He also read some scriptures and prayed and had a great dream that I think was the Lord speaking to him. What can I say? I am pretty darned thrilled beyond belief. Everyone on this board has been great. Once again i wish to thank you all for your guidance and advice, it has really opened up my life.

candyprpl Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Oh mcdoodle you definitely made my day!! I'm so excited for you and your family. The missionaries for this area are coming for dinner tonight -- I can't wait to share this news with them! I don't know if you remember my post, you were talking about your fear -- I live in Silver City, NM which is about 3 hrs from Tucson and the missionaries coming for dinner tonight would have been transferred from Tucson. Definitely keep us posted -- we live for stories like this LOL:popcorn: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misshalfway Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Mcdoodle, do you feel like there is this bunch of overeager people pressing there faces against your window??? I am reminded of that final scene in the movie "While you were sleeping" when he drops the diamond instead of the token at the train station and his whole family is there starring with goofy grins.

Karen Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 So excited to hear about your progress. Let us know how everything goes. Is there something we can send to you? A book about the gospel you'd like to read and don't have? Karen, More Good Foundation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorningStar Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 That's great!!!! Most of our missionaries are so adorable to me. One day they stopped by just when I happened to have some Krispy Kremes and canned lemonade. You should've seen how happy they looked. Very cute.
