Being LDS

I tutored three days last week. It was wonderful. Love working with J. J's mom was out of town till Friday.She was at her Grammy's all week. After J's mom came back I went over to her house to eat dinner, and just hang out. I spent the night since it was a drive. AS we were talking I realized she thought I had Mormon's in my family background. She always said the Mormon's saved me and they did. I was saved from making bad choices. My children also saved. This was 20 years ago. This time we talked about how it came about that I was converted to this Church. I told her my conversion story. She asked lots of questions about the Church beliefs. We watched The Testaments. Its a Church movie about the visit of Christ to the Americas. She knew a lot about it from her knowledge of art history. She feels that Christ did visit many on earth. She also has interest in the lost tribes.I had a wonderful time with all our discussions.
I haven't been able to express my beliefs to anyone in my family who is really interested in my Church. Maybe not to join but just interested as a curious person. . J's mom was getting what I was saying. It was nice. We are also very aware of each others tender times. We both have faced lots of adversity for the choices of others, and natural adversity that comes with living.

I had a great Sunday. We have a new Sunday School teacher. He is fantastic. We were learning much of the Church History. Next year will be the Old Testament. I'm looking forward to those classes.
