Ghost_Rider Posted June 21, 2010 Report Posted June 21, 2010 Congrats YOU!!!! I feel the same way. I cant believe that with me its been almost 2.5 years! seems like it was just yesterday that I was a noobie in the chat room asking all kinds of questions. Quote
eternalpromise516 Posted June 21, 2010 Author Report Posted June 21, 2010 Your growth is inspiring – how has your changes over the last year affected your non-LDS family and friends that knew you pre your LDS membership? The Travelermy family still makes snide comments from time to time, which can be a little disheartening at times, but i take it in strides and try not to let it bother me. as far as my friends, they respect me for applying myself to higher standards, although i already technically lived the same way as i am now before i became a member. i am a little more concious of my actions, pray daily, read and do scripture study twice a day, etc. which is probably the only different part of me.and guiding my life towards the temple has changed me the most. i feel such a major purpose to my life and how i live. i'm starting to develop that "single eye of faith" as that one scripture says. when i go to do baptisms, i hate to leave and want nothing more than to be there all the time. i truely love serving in the House of the Lord.

I'm looking forward to getting your email telling the date and time of your temple endowment!it'll be coming - soon hopefully! i had an unfortunate event happen, but i'm going to be making an appointment with the bishop to discuss things and make my case. i have this gut feeling it will be soon. i've been doing a lot of praying and fasting lately about it. (maybe that's why i've lost 10 pounds in a little over a month O_O) Quote
