theBUBBAMANcan Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 I've decided to make the leap. The missionaries have been suggesting that the time is right to get baptized...and tonight I agreed! I have been meeting with missionaries since July. Since then, I have seen a lot of change in myself, my marriage and my family. I have been blessed. Thanks for reading! Quote
Kyra Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 Wow, that's wonderful! Congratulations and best of luck! Quote
Still_Small_Voice Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 Being a member of the church that is lead by Jesus Christ Himself brings great joy into my life. I hope you find more joy than I have found being a follower of Christ. Quote

Guest Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 Congratulations! I was baptized about 5 years ago. I had a wife and child at this time, and was making some bad decisions. I can see the bad side of life, and what it is like to be part of the good, and let me tell you, you won't regret it! Realize, people will come out of the woodwork now to tell you what you're doing is wrong, but just hang in there, it is worth it! Quote
AmyL Posted November 14, 2008 Report Posted November 14, 2008 So thrilled for you!!! To qoute my father-in-law "It will be the first day of the rest of your life!" and he was right. He said that on my baptism day almost a year ago and this year has been one of the best. Blessings are coming you way! Quote

kona0197 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Posted November 16, 2008 Congrats. Your doing something I can not due to certain stupid laws. I wish you well. Quote
BenRaines Posted November 16, 2008 Report Posted November 16, 2008 I love the quote "The gospel of Jesus Christ makes bad men good and good men better." Congrats. I hope it is before the BYU vs Utah football game. :) Ben Raines Quote
Misshalfway Posted November 16, 2008 Report Posted November 16, 2008 So happy for you. Congrats. Quote
john doe Posted November 16, 2008 Report Posted November 16, 2008 Congrats. Your doing something I can not due to certain stupid laws. I wish you well. Yeah, that Law of Chastity is a real stickler for some people. Quote
kona0197 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Posted November 17, 2008 (edited) It has NOTHING to do with the law of chastity. NOTHING at all. Perhaps you were gone when I explained the reason why we can not get married. Need I refresh your memory? I do not wish to stay to far off topic but the reason we can not be married is because my girlfriend gets almost $700 in Social Security benefits. She is disabled. She can not work. Social Security has stated by law she will lose all income should we marry. I do not make enough at Walmart to cover all the bills nor do I have time to go back to school. We are doing the best we can in these circumstanses. I ask you to walk in my shoes before you throw stones. I don't appreciate your remark. Edited November 17, 2008 by kona0197 Quote
semodex Posted November 17, 2008 Report Posted November 17, 2008 How wonderful!! What great blessings you are bringing to your family! Today (Nov. 17) is my one year anniversary...my 13 yr old dd was baptized in March, then my 9 yr old dd was baptized in June. My 13 yr old asked me the other day what life was like before we were baptized...all she can think of is how wonderful life is now! I know the angels are rejoicing!:) Quote
