john doe Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Wow, what a journey you've had! Welcome to the site, and if we can help answer some of your questions, please don't hesitate to ask. And your wife is definitely right, you go to church for yourself, not for those who may recognize you from your past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truegrits Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Hi Wysinger; welcome to the site. I am excited that my wife and I have realized that having a spiritual connection is so important, it's just ironic that I find myself living back in the same ward as my Father was once a Bishop. Seems uncomfortable to just jump right in. What will others think?? My wife is quick to remind me that we are not going for them but rather for ourselves.I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the only church that has the whole truth and am looking forward to the blessings that I am sure we are going to enjoy for years to come. What a journey you have had. Thanks for sharing it. And what a wise wife you have. I look forward to hearing updates on how things go for you.

Wysinger Posted December 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Today was our first official visit to our local church. My family was well received and the folks were really great. They met my son and the primary teacher immediately got on the phone and called her daughter to come in and sign with him. My wife and I attended the Mormon Doctrine class and then stayed for Relief Society & Priesthood class's. It was a great experience and we're all excited to go back. Our home teacher is coming over Tuesday evening. We are looking forward for that visit. Brothers and sisters I hadn't seen in 25 years were coming up. It was like a reunion and I totally enjoyed it. Why did I wait so long?.... Thank again for all the warm replies. I look forward to corresponding with many of you as I know I'll be spending a lot more time in here and a lot less time in front of the TV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
