Jamie123 Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Hi - and welcome :)I'm not LDS myself, so I'm totally unqualified to answer your question, but I think it's time somebody responded to your message. I can't believe there isn't at least one person out there who's been (or knows someone who's been) in a similar position who can offer some advice/help/encouragement.Best wishes, and I hope things work out for you and your bf.Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amillion2one Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Having just recently become active myself within my ward I'm really not sure how to answer this one...umm i'm thinking maybe contact the people at the temple and they may be able to guide you in the right direction...I totally understand not wanting the family to know about this...it is a personal matter but in the meantime I suggest that you pray to Heavenly Father with real intent and a sincere heart and hopefully he would be able to give you the answers you seek.

Maya Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Welcome... If I were you ... and really in love with this boy. I would take him with me to teh bishop tomorrow. Best would be to take your father too... and talk with him too anyway right after. If you done something wrong it wont help posponing the confession to your dad either. Your options: Confess to the bishop. It will be enough for him to know that you broke the law of chasity. I think he may ask if it was of free will. Would be good to have him there too, if he also regrets, even thoug he is not LDS. If he wants to marry you marry. Or wait a year and no sex. About after he has been a member for a year you can be married in a Temple. If you want to marry now, do it... he may become a member he may not become one.... a year is a long time to wait especially as he has not even started the lessons yet. A lifetime with a spuse outside the church... is not easy! Do talk with your dad. He may be angry and dissapointed, but what is done is done and he loves you very much and only wishes the best to you. It is a big blow when you think your family is doing ok....

glow_inthe_dark_girl Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 hi, I just read your post, I'm from Mexico too!!! de que parte eres?? ... I think you should see the branch president or mission president and confess, if you are truly repented ,. si creo que debes ir a decir porque dice en D Y C, que si alguien se arrepiente de sus pecados "he aquí los confesará ylos abandonará", espero y te sirva mi opinion, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
