I appreciate that this forum is here and will include the needs of this group in my prayers tonight too.

Thank you all for your faith, support and prayers.

Please pray for me as I talk to her about what will be best for my son and this little boy who obviously had something very bad happen to him. They are in Kindergarten. I don't know how this won't lead to an investigation of his parents. Please pray for him too. I'm just so grateful that my son felt comfortable telling me immediately. I e-mailed the teacher and she said it just so happened that they are having a meeting tomorrow because the boy is having some major issues. I'm heartbroken for him. :( ]]> Prayers and Testimonies MorningStar http://www.lds.net/forums/prayers-testimonies/27633-difficult-school-meeting.html http://www.lds.net/forums/prayers-testimonies/27430-please-pray-id-get-my-car-back-shop-quickly.html Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:00:51 GMT Hi everyone. My car had to go in the shop this morning. The tachometer (RPM meter) keeps sticking on it and at one point the RPMs were running at 3,000 RPMs at about 50-55 mph when normally at that speed they'd run at about 2,000 RPMs. Also, the check engine light came on and stayed on whenever I ran the car for about 24 hours. Please pray that I'd get my car back quickly. Thanks! ]]> Prayers and Testimonies MormonGirl02 http://www.lds.net/forums/prayers-testimonies/27430-please-pray-id-get-my-car-back-shop-quickly.html http://www.lds.net/forums/prayers-testimonies/27152-prayers-please.html Thu, 29 Oct 2009 17:09:33 GMT I just found out yesterday that a family friend (and former teacher of mine) who has breast cancer has recently been informed that the cancer spread to her liver. At her doctor's recommendation, she has stopped having treatments and is going home to be under the care of a hospice nurse. I would really appreciate prayers for her and her family. She has had a profound impact on my life and the lives of many others and this is a very difficult time for all of us. Thank you. ]]> Prayers and Testimonies mandii http://www.lds.net/forums/prayers-testimonies/27152-prayers-please.html http://www.lds.net/forums/prayers-testimonies/27135-went-get-my-lost-recommend-back.html Thu, 29 Oct 2009 04:12:04 GMT As some of you may know that read another post of mine, I lost my recommend at the temple, probably down the laundry chute. I got a call saying they had it but I had already gotten a new one. So I thought it'd be a good idea to go pick it up anyway and give it to my mother for scrapbooking. I couldn't decide what to wear. If I should just go as is, or change into sunday clothes. In the end I changed and I'm very glad I did!

I got to the temple, and my newly found recommend was lost! They didn't know what happened to it, I wasn't too worried but I figured while I was there I should do some work! I decided to stay around and do initiatory work. Here's where my testimony comes in!

The first time I entered the temple for my own endowments I remember being able to think of questions and literally answer them before I could finish the question. I also remember how it was impossible for satan to slip things into my mind. As I was driving to the temple today I started to get worried, worried that I wouldn't feel that again, that it was just out of nervousness and I was on a spiritual high that was making me think at a million miles per hour. Well, today, after I changed I was sitting down waiting to begin and I was thinking of questions as I was reading the scriptures; and it happened again. I would ask a question and the answer was immediately pointed out to me. Satan was being driven away from me and he couldn't do anything to ruin my perfect train of thought.

The temple truly is holy ground. I love it.:D ]]> Prayers and Testimonies allredcon http://www.lds.net/forums/prayers-testimonies/27135-went-get-my-lost-recommend-back.html http://www.lds.net/forums/prayers-testimonies/27080-been-preparing-temple.html Tue, 27 Oct 2009 21:21:03 GMT So, in recap. Been civilly married for 5 1/2 years.
Both LDS, not active.
We've been attending and participating in church for a little under a year now.
Started out rocky, attendance twice a month and occasional tithe-payers.
By May, we were attending nearly every week and paying a full tithe (working on catching up the amount unpaid at the beginning of the year).
Hubby was made an elder at the end of July.
The week before that, I was asked to serve in the Relief Society presidency (2nd counselor). Very inspiring experience, the set-apart blessing stated the Lord had forgiven me and loves me, albeit in more detail than I'm willing to write here; it was something I'd been very worried about at the time. Note: The blessing was not given by the bishop, and he is not a bishop to gossip about anything with anyone.
We then started temple prep classes. It's been a slow process, as we are a class that tends to go off on tangents, but are projected to be through it by the end of November. Our daughter (age 4) is extremely excited and keeps talking about Mommy and Daddy "getting married again".
I was worried about money. Well, we both were. Not only that we were behind on tithing (the bishop helped us come up with a plan to catch up by end of year, but the budget hurts a little), but I didn't see how we were going to come up with money for white clothing and garments. The vehicle, the dishwasher and the heater broke down in the last few months, obliterating our savings. Lack of dishwasher has helped our electric bill though.

Here comes the testimony:
Got a call (not from the Lord though it kinda felt that way :p) today. I will be receiving a bonus check because they have reevaluated my part in the company and determined I was underpaid. This check will be showing up within the next 2 weeks. There will be money enough to catch up our tithing and offerings, purchase temple clothing and pay off the vehicle, maybe replace the dishwasher (haven't yet), and definitely have a beginning savings again.

Could I blow it all on a trip to Disney world? Yes. But I won't.
I may, however, tickle my husband into getting sealed in the temple of my choice rather than the "local" one that's 3 hours away (what's another 2 hours on top of that anyhow??)

I know that after the sacrifice, comes the blessings. ]]> Prayers and Testimonies Generally_Me http://www.lds.net/forums/prayers-testimonies/27080-been-preparing-temple.html http://www.lds.net/forums/prayers-testimonies/26996-feel-desperate-so-please-pray-my-family.html Sat, 24 Oct 2009 20:24:10 GMT We have had an awful shock today.
