  1. Thanks everyone! And ya i had thought of that revision myself as well and i decided that is what i am going to change it to.
  2. Hello, So the reason the title is what it is, is more for just humor. The humor being that the presidency does not want us calling it a mission farewell(no offense meant). Anyway, so I am beginning the work on my talk and when I asked what to talk about I was told to try and think of a topic myself for starters. I was thinking about it and the topic of Faith came to my mind. Do you think that this would be a good topic for the current circumstances? Thanks!
  3. There is that one guy in the scriptures who was a soothsayer and a man of God as well. Remember he was asking God whether he should curse or bless that one city. I have no clue how that worked. Nither do I look at that as an excuse to use that stuff. I just don't understand it and I wont until I die because that is not what Heavenly Father wants us focused on right now.
  4. LIKE A BOSS SON! LOL. Lets get some laughs up in here! You guys are so serious. Haha
  5. Ok here is my personal opinion. Have you used an eight ball before? You ask a question and shake it and get an answer. Tarot is used the exact same way. It all depends on whether you are wholly putting your faith in it over God. This means that if you were to put your faith in the "magic" eight ball relying on pure randomness of the shaking of the ball over God, it would essentially be violating one of the ten commandments to "not put any gods before me". The god you are putting before him in this instance is the luck of the draw. it is innocent until it goes beyond the boundaries of mere fun and games. Your intentions are what make them evil. They in themselves are not evil, they are paper and ink, no more no less. Until you put them above God. When it comes to God relaying messages in other ways I do believe in it because there are numerous accounts in the scriptures from it. But I do not claim to know when those times arise. I like the art work on the cards and find them as what they are. Fun and games. No more no less. Just like the Eight ball.
  6. Ya I figured that she just didn't want to get too attached before my mission. Thanks^^
  7. Oh and she did text me goodnight she just didn't say I love you back but she did say it in person so I am just kind of confused.
  8. Hello So me and this girl like each other very much. Yesterday I took her to a movie and afterwards shared our first kiss and then I told her I loved her. She said she loved me as well, however when I texted her goodnight later on and said the same thing she didn't say it back. So the thing is that I am about to go on a mission. Is this what she is doing to not get too attached? Is this something I should worry about or not? I love her with all my heart. Please offer some advice. Thanks. Oh and please be sincere I know I shouldn't be in love before my mission I tried my hardest not to be but sometimes you just cant help it. And I also already know the risks I am taking because odds say that she will probably be married when I get back so please don't lecture me on that. I get enough from my parents lol.
  9. I actually have been^^it is really very fun! Oh and the powder is completely harmless! Unless you are alergic to rice because yep its all just colored rice powder.
  10. Really, if I were to ask her to wait, I wouldn't be asking her not to date at all. That is like asking someone to jump of a cliff and not hit the ground. All I would ask is for her to not date anyone seriously just because I want her there when I get home. Please don't take anything I say the wrong way. I only want her there when I get home. That is what I have been trying to say. The thing is though I don't want to ask her because I also feel that it is somewhat a selfish thing to ask. Please, I just need to be understood. I have not told anyone this until now.
  11. I really didn't mean it literally. I meant that it would definitely be really hard on me emotionally.
  12. Dear clevermonkier Ok look I think we got off on the wrong foot here. I don't know Why you came off so hostile at first. I truly never ment to offend anyone. I merely meant to ask a simple question. I have always agreed with the fact that it is selfish to some degree to ask her to wait. That is actually the reason that I asked this question in the first place. I feel so stuck. I love her with all my heart and naturally I want her there after my mission. Not only do I love her but she is my best friend. To lose her would be to lose one of the most important people to me in my life. I don't want to be selfish. The only thing is that I am now only relying on hope and I feel the moment I walk through the doors at the mtc I lose all hope. I am truly sorry for my previous comment I never meant to offend. I just feel so hopeless because I love her so much and to lose her would kill me.
  13. Hello Clevermonkier, Just so I can clear this up a little bit for you. I dont beleive that there is one person out there and only one person out there for me or anyone else. What I do happen to know, is that she in fact is the love of my life given that I love her and she is in my life. I thank you for your clearly heartfelt advice and would like to happily inform you that your permission to ignore it has been used. I would further request that an attitude of maturity and proffessionalism be used from now on, within this thread. Thank you. Shawnspencer
  14. Hi=) So I just got my mission call to the Romanian/Moldova mission. I am so excited to serve the Lord! There is this girl that I have loved for three years and she feels the same about me and has for possibly five years now. I don't quite know what her personal opinions on girls waiting for missionaries is but all I know is that the very thought of coming home from my mission to the love of my life married is the worst fear I have ever had. To give you a little more background for the past year or so I have been trying to get over her with every concievable technique but for some reason my feelings for her will strike back with even more force. I have now given up on letting her go because apparently that ain't happening. So here is my question, to you girls, is it a total complete "not to be uttered" thing to ask a girl to wait for you? Thanks a ton! Shawnspencer
