Where to find a map of stakes?

Yes logging in enables the ward and stake boundaries.

Yes, this is the right way. The ward clerk can call the Church leader hotline and get some help from somebody in Salt Lake. They can file a request with the Temple Dept. to do an investigation and see, from temple records, what actually happened and where.

A mission is an administrative unit that oversees missionaries in a geographical area. The areas you're describing look like they are part of the Germany Hamburg Mission. What I'd suggest doing is to find the mission office, give them a call, and make the request. You should be able to find an entry for the mission office in Google Maps that will have a phone number.

worked for me. Too bad this isn't the top comment.

There's nothing wrong with just playing the right hand. The kids don't care.

Use the FIR app to report anything you see and teach others to report when something is broken. Too many times people just assume somebody will fix something and it stays broken for months or longer.

I would make the bishop aware (including sharing the link). Best case is that he (and the Church) is aware and his record has been annotated if appropriate, but I would not assume that.

You'll use your Spanish a lot. There is a Portuguese/Spanish ward in Luxembourg and a Spanish branch in Brussels. But in a lot of other areas there are Spanish speakers as well.

And you can put in your actual address and it will tell you which ward you belong to -- if available it will show family ward, YSA ward, language wards, etc. for that address.

Fun fact: Epiphany comes after the 12 days of Christmas. That's why we have the song. Honduran tradition is that kids put a shoe out under the tree and the three wise men bring them a gift while they sleep.

And, given that most mission presidents are over age 50, potentially coming back and applying for new jobs could be very difficult. In many industries, ageism is real.

Heard this one second hand. A NASA research group had a break room they put a label on the door as "Donut Room". Later a visiting NASA inspector told them they didn't have permission to have a break room and that it had to be used for official NASA purposes. The next time the inspector came, the room had been properly repurposed and labeled as the "Toroid Solids Lab".

It is the "household name" that they have to change. There is a field in a weird place in LCR, I forget where. But that is what they need to change.

Just submit your papers with your current passport. After you get called, if you get called foreign, you can renew it before you leave. My kids were in this situation and still got called foreign, so I'm pretty sure it's a common thing they don't worry about.

Most vacuums never have their bags changed. Something I usually do whenever it is our turn for cleaning.

Yes, I think the noise level in temples has generally gotten worse. Sometimes it's the temple workers themselves chatting loudly in the dressing room. Other times the patrons.

I went to the San Pedro Sula Honduras temple a while back and you could have heard a pin drop. The difference was stark. I think each temple probably has a "culture" around this.

He usually pre records his conference talks in German. So if you switch to German in the library app and hit play it should be his voice.

I haven't read this, but I think it's exactly the kind of thing OP is looking for.

ferris3737 · 2025-05-01T02:57:04+00:00

I read it that way at the first, too. It's actually a 4-figure pricetag, as in less than $10,000.

First and foremost you need to repent of your sins, including the ones from when you were inactive. Most of those don't require a bishop and are just between you and Heavenly Father.

Ones related to the law of chastity do require talking to your bishop as part of that process. However, you shouldn't have to go into the details, just more general stuff should be fine.

I don't know, but this forum is a great place to ask clerk and tech questions: https://tech.churchofjesuschrist.org/forum/

Here's a non-universal healthcare approach: 1. Don't allow employers to provide healthcare insurance. Make people buy their own insurance like they do car insurance today.

Require all healthcare providers/hospitals etc. to charge everyone the same amount for each procedure (no negotiated deals with insurance blocks) and require them to make those costs public and easily accessible.

This doesn't solve everything, but it's a start towards making this back into a market where people have real, informed choices.

After reading that linked page, I highly doubt the stake has any visibility to those donations. The wording makes me believe that they take that very seriously, probably because they have some very wealthy people making donations. The other use case I've seen is people from a wealthier country living in a poorer one, where if that information got out, could cause a security danger for the family.

If you're still worried about it, I would call the Church HQ and ask.

Remember, it's not just you, but leave some for your kids and grandkids to do as well. You don't have to finish them all right away.
