JGarcia Posted July 14, 2019 Report Posted July 14, 2019 My name is James Garcia I am originally from El Salvador but I moved to the USA when I was 9, so i'm kind of an American now. I am 24 and live in Texas. I have been a member of the church since I was 9 but I was inactive for a really long time. I returned to church again late last year. I have 1 full sister who is a missionary right now and I miss her a lot. I don't know what else to say but if you have any questions for me you can ask me . dprh 1 Quote

As a scientist and engineer also a 5th generation member and as we have all learned - currently a newly instituted member of the Elders quorum - I have lots of questions about a great many things. I do not know if any would be for you. Thanks for offering. The Traveler Quote

I am not a scientist or engineer so I can't help you with those questions unfortunately. Quote
Just_A_Guy Posted July 15, 2019 Report Posted July 15, 2019 @Traveler, I didn’t get the impression that @JGarcia was trying to set himself up as an authority on anything; I took his invite for questions as referring to personal questions, in a “let’s get to know each other” sort of way. pam 1 Quote
Traveler Posted July 15, 2019 Report Posted July 15, 2019 (edited) @JGarcia & @Just_A_Guy - Engineer seldom get social interactions right. If there is a non-social discussion - about almost anything connected to reality - I am interested. BTW brother Garcia - Your path back and what you have learned could be a topic.

I've never loved Utah myself. Stayed because of my parents but they are both gone now so nothing keeping me here. And 2 of my kids are moving to Texas as well. I need to get out of snow and just need a change. Quote
