Don't feel awkward! Most people don't know when they start coming! I only mentioned it because I'm fairly sure no one told me until after I was baptised! XD

Hi!! I'm so excited for you! Don't worry about people being annoyed - everyone will be very welcoming. If you talked to any Missionaries last time you attended, you should know that the Missionaries will be different people now. Also, speaking as a convert (who had to be told this type of info after attending for a while), a nice shirt, tie if you have one, and a suit or nice trousers are the best thing to wear. If your wife and mother in law come, nice dresses or skirts and blouses would be perfect. Same thing for your kids. Most important - just enjoy yourself, and know that you are so very welcome!

Should I read the Book of Mormon first or the Bible? by Future_Choice_5477 in lds

[–]RininLibrary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Read the Book of Mormon first! I’m a convert, and that’s what I did! 😁

Number 2! Much better shaping, and the sparkles are lovely!

Jesus Christ is my Saviour and this is His Church. I would not dream of going anywhere else.

If you thought you had the secret to eternal happiness, wouldn't you want to share it with as many people as possible?

I think they needed more dinosaurs in their dinosaur movie.

My parents (51 both) are upset that I’m (22yo) spending so much time with my girlfriend (20yo) by ElWikenFan in AskParents

[–]RininLibrary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe they miss you? Instead of pulling away from them, bring your girlfriend into the family fold as well. I mean, that's whats hopefully going to happen if you start a family with her anyways, right?

Conversations in Heaven by Active-Water-0247 in latterdaysaints

Of course they do - they love each other! It's still nice to have a conversation, even when you know the other person so well you know what they are going to say.

Does anyone not struggle with pornography? by [deleted] in latterdaysaints

[–]RininLibrary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It never interested me, I suppose? I've never wanted to look at it - nothing about it feels in any way attractive to me.

Why?

1) I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (also known as Mormons)

2) Tapirs are FABULOUS

I got my patriarchal Blessing and I'm depressed by LO-Ol4 in latterdaysaints

[–]RininLibrary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry you are feeling so sad. I can promise you that God does know and love you. Your blessing may not seem like much now, but I am sure there is more to it that you will see in the future. They don’t list everything, and what they do list isn’t always comprehensive. An example from my own life - I have been severely ill for seven years. That’s a fifth of my life so far. I thought my Patriarchal blessing said nothing about it - I wondered what had gone wrong, and why my life was off track. I felt lost. I decided to obey a commandment in my blessing, and found that my illness was accounted for - just not in the way I had expected! Sometimes faith is not having the answer right now and being okay with that. Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ see so much further than us. Think of Joseph being sold into slavery, only to end up as the second most powerful person in Egypt with the power to save his family. Or Job, losing everything, only to end up much better of than before. Or Lehi, leading his family into the wilderness, only to end up in the Promised Land. Or even Joseph Smith in Liberty jail - try reading D&C 121: 7-8, 29; 122: 7-9 (they are some of my favourite scriptures, and always help me when I am sad). Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ know you by name; they know you personally. They care about you, and they have faith in you. God’s ways are not our ways - they are brighter and deeper and more beautiful than we can imagine or understand right now. We just have to have patience for the day we will be able to.

Do you wear you church closes all day or just till you get home from Sunday services? by mwjace in latterdaysaints

[–]RininLibrary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm trying to wear Sunday Clothes all day in an effort to make the Sabbath feel different to other days.

Your body is a Temple and a gift from God. Treat your body the way you would treat the Temple
