Guest faithful175 Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Hi all!Wanted to introduce myself. First a little bit on my history with the church. I was baptised when I was 10 and went to church through my teenage years. I later stopped going and never really looked back. In 2006 some missionaries found me and came knocking on my door. I was scared they knew where I lived because I hadn't attended church in a VERY long time. No matter they came and taught me and my three children lessons. We attended one meeting, then I graduated and moved from the area. I was married again to a man who said he wouldn't stand in the way of whatever religion I chose but much to my surprise he frowned at me going to an LDS and because I didn't want to lose the man I thought God had earmarked me to be with I didn't go. He's asking me for a divorce so now I am free to choose whatever I want to go. In June of this year I stopped by the local lds church and asked for some missionaries to come to my house. They did. My two older children have been baptised recently and I couldn't be happier!Now, I'm back in and I'm going to try and do right by the church and live by the word to the best of my ability.So that's me and I can't wait to get to know you all a little bit better.

Truegrits Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Hello Theresa...welcome to the site. :) Thanks for sharing a bit of yourself with us. I also became inactive (in my early twenties) and remained so for many years. I never denied being LDS, continued to live the standards I had been raised with...and did, through divine guidance, make my way back to the Church.I am looking forward to getting to know you.

FenderFan Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Hi Theresa Welcome back, and welcome to the site. I've recently started coming to church too, after a very long break. It's the best thing I have done in a long time. FF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainofGold Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Hello and welcome Faithful, And congratulations for coming back to the church. Just know that there are going to be a lot of happy moments in the church but also you might go through some trials, just hang in there. You are not alone, you have a huge LDS family that will support you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
