  1. how long does it take for a thread to be posted after summiting? I put something on and don't see it.
  2. For a long time I have felt a special feeling about LDS. I often wondered about the Church growing up. I also had a unique inner feeling just being outside of a Mormon Church wondering what it was like inside. I have taught school for many years and the very few times I had a Mormon kid in my class or on my ball team (about 5 kids total over the years) they were "top notch" with great family support. I graduated from a Christian College and was baptized in college. I often think back and think I may have been baptized due to peer pressure ( I do believe the Bible). So now I am in my mid fifties and I have moved to Wyoming and teach school in an area that is heavy LDS believers. I really felt through the whole interview process that I was "drawn" to this school. Everything just "fell" into place - the move, everything. And this school and staff and the kids, top notch in everyway. I just feel that the Mormons must be doing something right because they are so at ease with everything.....So I did request a Book of Mormon online and had a few Elders visit and give me the brochure and Book of Mormon. I did pray for answers about if LDS is for me. I have had incredible peace of mind and sense of impression and thoughts is as positive as it ever has been. I have been "broken" and away from any Church activities for years. I always felt my "sins" were to hard to overcome for any type of repenting. I often wonder can I become a Mormon in my 50's..........can I repent and be baptized in a LDS Church and become a member. I know most Mormons are attached with the Church with their families. My family is spread out far away (my kids are grown) and have lives over their own. If I were to attend a LDS Church would I feel awkward not being surrounded by my family? Thoughts, comments, suggestions, would be greatly appreciated!
