WELCOME!

As I am re-activating myself in the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-Day Saints, I wanted to share my thoughts, feelings, stumbles, developments and understandings.
I was born into the church, baptized at age 8 and went on to Young Womens, Relief Society and YSA (Young Single Adults).
And because of a few different reasons I let myself fall away from the Gospel. I got married outside the Temple and made decisions I'm not proud of.
But now I am starting a journey back... This blog is the beginning of my new story.

My First Value Experience

So I have decided on one that is quite timely...
Value: Faith - Experience #6
It Reads:
Increase your understanding of the plan of salvation. Resources for study include 1 Corinthians 15:22; Revelation 12:7–9; 2 Nephi 9:1–28; 11:4–7; Doctrine and Covenants 76:50–113; 93:33–34; Moses 4:1–4; and Abraham 3:24–27. Draw or obtain a picture that depicts the plan of salvation, including the premortal existence, birth, mortal life, death, judgment, and life after judgment. Using this picture, explain the plan of salvation to your class, your family, or a friend. Discuss how knowledge of the plan affects your actions, helps you understand your identity, and has strengthened your faith.

My future sis-in-law (FSIL) is currently receiving discussions from the misisonaries and is interested in learning about the Church. (We feel pretty close as she is investigating, I'm re-activating and our fiancee/husband aren't too interested.) And the other week I was invited to join her class with them during Sunday School. It was on the Plan of Salvation. It was kinda funny in points as I have a good idea on the Plan and FSIL had none and the missionaries forgot thier diagram that explains it. And if any of you know the Plan you would also know that a diagram is ESSENTIAL when teaching it. So I started to draw one up as they were discussing it. 
It looked a bit full on as I was trying to remember different things as I went so I had little scribbles on it explaining things to me. Then as the missionaries used it to help FSIL understand I decided I wanted to make her an awesome poster of the Plan. We discussed it and we were all quite excited about this poster... I can see it in my head... I know exactly how I want to do it and it's gonna be awesome!
And then I thought that FSIL and I could use it and discuss it with each other like the experience asks and I would post up here our discussion. (With her permission of course)

I'll put up pictures too once I've finished it!
