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.

Lesson Last Night

Why are we here?
What are we doing in this life?
Who am I?
Where am I going?
How do I get there?

All very big life questions that we ask ourselves over and over gain… and last night it has never been so clear to me as to the answers to all of these questions… and what makes it even better is that I think it became clear to my Husband too!

We are tying to have the missionaries over once a week, and we are undergoing the lessons that they teach to investigators in the church. Now this is important as both my Husband and I were born into the church so a lot of the “basics” we were never really taught properly as it was expected that we just already knew it… no one’s fault really…
So 2 weeks ago when the missionaries were over it came up in conversation that C was missing the standard stuff that everyone knew about church so he felt like he was behind the eight-ball from the very beginning. This then led the missionaries to ask if we’d like to receive the lessons. And boy does everything make a lot more sense when everything is explained to you in order!

And these missionaries are fantastic! They answer every single question we (mainly C) come up with. They can find it for him in both the BOM and the Bible! It’s like nothing is too hard or too challenging, and they LOVE questions! Which makes things even better, because it is the worst when you feel stupid for asking a question or even if you don’t ask it at all… we all need answers! I know for a fact that these missionaries are here right now to help C, they are right for him and what he needs to learn and grow and I am so incredibly grateful for that. Especially as I am learning so much too!

But back to my original questions… Last night’s lesson was on the Plan of Salvation, something that I’m studying at the moment, so as I move through the POS scriptures each of these questions will be answered… so stay tuned!

  1. That is so fantastic. It is true when you grow up in the church a lot of knowledge is taken for granted and you don't ask much in class for fear of looking stupid since 'everyone knows'
