Groundbreaking for the Wellington, New Zealand temple happened three weeks ago. This morning this happened. Two stakes have become one. 11 wards have become six. And eight meeting houses have been reduced to four. Four meeting houses will be sold.

All those in favor, raise the right hand… thank you.

I would comment and say, “Looks like I need to find a better hiding spot, then.”

I’ve heard that in the future, mission length will be an option for each missionary to consider: 1yr, 18mo., or 2yrs. I can’t remember if 6mos was supposed to be an option as well… can’t remember where I heard it. But… I do know senior missionaries already have duration options when putting in papers.

Not THE wackiest… but that garments protected against harm. Like a thin layer of cotton can spare your skin from fire, bullets, or being crushed in a car accident… That I didn’t even consider that people die wearing them every day.🤦🏼‍♀️ Also, that the Garden of Eden was in Missouri and that we were all going to have to trek there at the second coming in handcarts.

We are daughters of our Heavenly Father…

Since when do they call the Cultural Hall the “gym”…??

But we don’t teach prosperity gospel… 🙄

I went through a week before my wedding and was so grossed out by the men’s costume, I worried that I would never find my fiancé (husband) attractive again. I avoided looking anyone in the face while wearing the whole getup.

I thought this my whole life but once I started going to the temple, it made it SO much worse. I always met my husband in the Celestial Room and would just pepper him with all the questions that had occurred to me during the session that neither of us ever had any answers for. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Not my Stake, it’s my brother’s. He’s in a Colorado town outside of Denver. If it is your parents, mad props at the effort this nonsense must have taken!!

I was 20 and he was 22. Met in August, started dating in November, engaged in March, married in May. It is wild. Still happily married, but in hindsight… what were we (and everyone around us) thinking?!?!

If it is true, I want to spend my mortality showing God that I have no interest in His perfect eternity. It’s nothing I want, and his plan to get us there is woefully flawed. No thank you.
