I decided to read mine again, and there was just this sense of peace that I got that I haven't felt in a long time. It was only for like a minute, but it was definitely a really special moment Patriarchal blessings are awesome. The revelations or whatever in them kind of shift (in your own perception) to apply to the current you. I love mine. Definitely worth reading every week to feel the spirit and feel that knowledge that God is there watching you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argenti he/him Posted April 7, 2023 Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 I apologize if this is offensive but is "Mormon" a like psuedo slur? I've seen some people react with hissing and I'm just curious. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph Smith (Our first prophet in the latter-days) translated a book which is titled the Book of Mormon. So people called The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints the Mormons because it was shorter (hence easier to say). We've been told it is better to use the longer version because it represents our beliefs better. Mormon was a prophet in the olden days, sort of like Moses or Noah. We don't worship Mormon, that's why you hear people say, "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints" to correct someone saying Mormon (in a terribly written nutshell).

Shining Silhouette he/him Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 Last night we had a fireside for youth with my Stake president's dad, who was Mission President in India. It was one of the most spiritual experiences of the past year for me. Guys, I'm so excited for my mission 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mason Wheeler Posted April 18, 2023 Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 I'll never forget the first thing my mission president said to me in my first interview. I knew he had originally lived near me, but I wasn't expecting "Elder Wheeler, I understand your bishop is [bishop's name.] I know him, he's a good man." Turns out he used to be my bishop's bishop! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a kid I lived in Millerton, NY for a while, a tiny town out in the middle of nowhere. It was an hour's drive to church and an hour back each week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
