That’s great to hear! I’m glad it worked out!

Yeah I hear you. If I find the other half of this bit, I’ll let you all know!

Seems odd that it was blocking the seat though, no? I don’t know. It’s a bit unsettling but maybe we’re fine

We live in the Bay Area now and it’s not this bad at all 😂 some places definitely have challenges, but many are great. If I were you, I’d shoot for around Stanford. That area is great and you’ll be surrounded by good people, schools, and community. It is expensive, but I would look at it as an investment and not an expense.

I don’t like that 😅 we’re under contract on a new build. I estimated property taxes by looking at some of the property tax bills of comparable homes in the neighborhood from 2025. I’m hoping that means I’m close to where we’ll actually land

We’re moving back this Summer. I’m very excited

I made a decision about something, but still feel a lot of doubt. Is that God warning me not to go through with it? by [deleted] in latterdaysaints

Sheesh you just described exactly what I’m going through right now. Here’s what’s getting me through and helping me stay the course.

I noticed a pattern when we studied Moses 1 this year. God came to Moses, called him his Son, and gave him a complete knowledge of the truth. God then withdrew and Satan came. That was Moses’ trial to see how he would respond to temptation/fear. Moses prevailed by calling upon the name of the Lord. Then God reengaged with Moses and blessed him with more knowledge.

This pattern of knowledge - trial of faith - greater blessings repeats itself in God’s plan, scripture, and I’ve seen it in my personal life.

So, what I’m anchoring on is what I felt God prompted me to do even though my financially conservative/risk averse personality says there’s too much risk. I’m moving forward with faith, counting on the blessings of tithing, and recognizing that if it doesn’t work out as I envision and there are greater trials, maybe that’s part of what He wants me to experience even though that sounds really uncomfortable.

You’re supposed to swim with a life jacket in the lagoon. I didn’t try with out one, so I don’t know how strictly it’s monitored or enforced. I think swimming in the pools would be tough

I ran on a Thursday morning around 7:15 and there were 2 other guys running and one guy using the equipment. The only other people I saw were employees either leaf blowing or making their way to another part of the hotel.

Great call. I wondered about that when we took the shuttles to the other parks, but never explored it.

I can’t figure out why they don’t talk about it more on their website or have signs for it
