Chris_L Posted July 6, 2011 Report Posted July 6, 2011 Hello! My name is Christina Larsson. I am from the Fredericton Ward of the Saint John, New Brunswick stake. I started attending church last September during a fast and testimony meeting, and was Baptised November 20th, and Confirmed the next day. I have attended Temple once for Baptisms for the dead as part of a YSA Temple trip. I didn't get to do my family members for that trip because I hadn't gotten all the paper work put through yet. Unfortunately the nearest Temple is over two hours away (Halifax, Nova Scotia), and as I don't have a car, it's not very convenient. I currently hold a reccomend for a Patriarchal blessing, but I'm waiting for another member of the YSA to return to Fredericton (she studies here but lives with her parents in another town during the summer) because she's a recent convert as well, and she's up for getting her Patriarchal blessing as well so we talked about carpooling since the Patriarch is in St. John. As you can tell by my Baptism date, I am close to being able to receive my endowments and I'm really looking forward to that. Well, that's all about me, and I look forward to making plenty of friends. Love and God bless! ~Chris~ Quote

Chris_L Posted July 11, 2011 Author Report Posted July 11, 2011 I've never heard of anyone holding a recommend for a Patriarchal blessing but it's wonderful that you are going to get one.Basically I've had my meeting with the Bishop and he gave me a recommend so that I can call the Patriarch so that I can get my blessing.
