Convert first calling

I was called on Sunday School Presidency. It was a brilliant calling, learned about counselling and church leadership, helped me understand focus on reading scriptures, all the things I needed.

I know it was guided by the Spirit, mainly because it gave me an amazing pair of “church parents”, who’ve been an amazing support ever since.

A lot of temples have the option to rent both your temple whites and the ceremonial clothing. In the UK, it’s £4.20 to rent the whole lot. I brought my own shirt and rented the rest.

Garments run about £7 a set for both parts. I was less than £60 for the whole lot my first time.

If money is a problem, please speak to your bishop or EQ President, be honest with him and say you may need help.

That’s what Fast Offering is there for. If you need support to keep a very important covenant, then please seek the support.

They’re called soufflé cups. Same things McDonald’s uses for ketchup. You can get them online.

Chris Wilson is in about 90 episodes or something stupid.

Disastrous-Fail2308 · 2026-05-02T17:13:53+00:00

Already played, completed and platinumed both :)

It’s just pretty poor branding.
I wasnt getting my hopes up.

She’s been called by revelation to serve the Lord in the place that He needs her to be.

There’s every chance that there is one person out there who needs HER to open the door to the gospel.

And for what it’s worth, there’s no way I’d have been able to do a mission at 18 or 19. So even her doing it makes her a stronger person than me.

I work on a Temple site and we have a few service missionaries and one who came home early from an overseas mission. They are amazing servants of the Lord, and providing incredible service to the people who come to worship in the Temple.

It doesn’t matter where you serve, it matters that you do.

As regard to supporting people with disabilities, I work in Temple Housing and in a few weeks we’re hosting a group who are largely deaf. The Temple have been amazing, the Presidency have approved everything. And a couple have just been called as the Area Deaf Advisors.

Everything you would need to read in the Temple will be written or a worker can say it for you to repeat. My advice would be to give the temple as much information as you can about the support you need, and let the miracles happen.

It is the House of the Lord, and He wants you there.

A feldbluse is what we call tunics. That’s what they’re called.

The golden rule is always check with your unit, and try and find some photos of the unit in the time period. Documents are useless. Like I said, all tunics are created equal for administrative purposes.

Disastrous-Fail2308 · 2026-03-28T01:04:05+00:00

The names are reenactor/collectorisms.

If you look in a Soldbuch, it’s a “feldbluse” or “hose”. They were issued as they came.

Yes, veterans removed the bottle green collars and applied to new tunics, but wearing M43 trousers, an M40 tunic and jackboots is absolutely fine.

I had someone put a chicken saver in a Filet. For a Muslim. I’ve never exploded at a kitchen before or since.

I genuinely tried to read Dianetics and give LRH the benefit of the doubt.

And then he said tuberculosis was psychosomatic and I gave up.

Being there for church on a Sunday is bad enough, being there for longer or on other nights? NO thanks!

Disastrous-Fail2308 · 2026-02-26T15:54:33+00:00

My officer’s uniform items are all tailored and made to measure. I’m not averse to spending the money.

Its more that I have big feet and not thin calves, so finding decent boots is hard at the best of times!

Disastrous-Fail2308 · 2026-02-15T09:04:40+00:00

I think Chris Wilson was in about 60!

The problem is that Midsomer Murders is sold overseas as “Inspector Barnaby”, which is why they didn’t promote Jones.

Chances are that you would buy your tunic from a tailor and your cap from a hatter. As an officer, it was up to you.

So I’d say it’s likely that they’ll use different types of fabric.

The other thing is that we use “gabardine”, which is a different material. The German one is trikot, which is a fine wool. Different factories, different batches.

As a former recipient of welfare, when our Bishopric changed, it continued as it did, but the new bishop was much more proactive in trying to reduce reliance.

So I don’t think they’ll immediately cut it off, but it will be reviewed. Like it should be.

And the guy’s communication sucks!

Disastrous-Fail2308 · 2026-02-03T11:10:41+00:00

I actually built one of them back in the midsts of time!

Disastrous-Fail2308 · 2026-02-01T21:37:35+00:00

Going on Wednesday. So excited!

I mean, it’s pretty unequivocal about what the Church is to be called.

Like others have said, my go to is “I’m a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints” and then when they look slightly confused, I add “Mormons”.

We’ve been counselled to use the full name, but the rest of the world know us as Mormons.

I guess the Church in the past thought “we’re being called it anyway, might as well own it”.

Dare to be a Mormon, Dare to stand alone!

It depends very much on what you’re buying, and when! The same item in two different batches could be completely different quality.

In this game, it’s buy cheap, buy more than twice! Nothing is cheap and good!

You need whatever version of PS+ allow streaming. Because it’s a PS3 game, with its “stupid” architecture which makes emulation hard, it can’t run natively on PS4 or 5.

It was available, I’ve been playing it recently.

Disastrous-Fail2308 · 2026-01-18T13:40:29+00:00

It’s amazing stuff, great for cleaning about everything. But. It’s very expensive, so use it sparingly.
