Before the Church - Chapter 2

Where was I, Oh! Feeling sorry for Cesar and tagging along with him. I don't remember exactly what happened that day. I think we only stayed for sacrament. I'm really not sure. It was so long ago.

Well, after that I think I was more open to having the Missionaries teach us. The first time was at Simon's (my bro in-law) house. We had dinner when they had the Missionaries over that day. Afterwards, they gave us a little lesson regarding the Plan of Salvation. I really wish I remembered everything that went on. I was just looking back at my scrapbook/journal today and the first day I went to church was June 4th, 2006. Then the next evening was the first time we went to have dinner/lesson w/ the Missionaries. (I love these things!!! I try to keep it updated as much as possible).

Well, the next week, we had planned on going to church, but for some reason, our washer broke down on us. Cesar said he had a feeling that something was working against him because he had decided,(after being inactive for such a long time), to do the right thing and go back to church. Looking back and it seems like it was true.

Well, today is our Family Movie night so, I have to go. I have lots more info now that I found my scrapbook.

To be continued again....

Okay, I'm confused. I remember having a conversation with you before you guys started coming to church and you told me that you wanted to learn more about the church but Cesar wasn't ready. . .Because I remember suggesting you could come without him and you didn't want to do that, but you said you had been telling him you thought they should start going to church--or something like that. . .not that it really matters. . .I'm probably just easily confused ;-) It's fun reading your conversion process! love ya! :-)

Well, Natalie, I'm not really sure myself now. I do remember talking to Claudia back in the day saying how "I would NOT join the church because of so many things that are required and so many other things you aren't "allowed" to do. I still have struggles right now with a lot of things. I was actually surprised at accepting a lot of it. It actually amazes me somehow.
