daboosh Posted October 21, 2011 Report Posted October 21, 2011 Sup guys, really glad to be here. I'm a 17 year old member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints living in New Zealand. I came here through a google search of 'LDS forum', as I've found myself spending too much time on other board specific forums not in tune with the the gospel, and not on anything in the same tune as Armies of Heleman! I have been a member all my life, but not up until recently have I realized what a privilege it is to be born into the fold. I am the sixth of eight children, unfortunately, I am the only active member of my siblings. After returning from a temple trip last week with the youth group, I can say my testimony has taken strides as well as my desire to serve god on an honorable full time mission has grown immensely. I will be handing in my mission papers in about 9 months! So excited. I have also planned to attend BYU-Hawaii after I finish the Lord's Mission, so that should be fun too. I'll just leave you all with a nice scripture I recently came across in Galatians 6:9, it reads; "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." Do good unto your fellow man, you will be blessed! If you have any questions, let me know :) Quote
pam Posted October 21, 2011 Report Posted October 21, 2011 Welcome. Okay I have a question. How did you come up with your username and does it mean something specifically or special to you? Quote
daboosh Posted October 21, 2011 Author Report Posted October 21, 2011 No meaning to it. Just a random alias I came up with a few years ago that stuck Quote
JudoMinja Posted October 21, 2011 Report Posted October 21, 2011 Welcome to the forum! :) Glad to hear you're testimony is growing and that you are filled with a desire to share the gospel with others. Just remember that a testimony needs constant nourishment- hold fast to the rod and be ever vigilant. These are trying times, but we can succeed with the Lord's help. You can learn quite a bit from the people here in the nine months before your mission. Getting in and participating will be a great way to prepare. Quote

Well, it's 9 months until I hand my papers in, so there will be a bit of time until I receive the call and the date I am actually called to go. Learning and growing is exactly what I came here to do, thanks Quote
