Sunday Funday...

While most of my friends spend Sunday at the bar I spend it at home with my family. Sunday is usually the day when I clean my house(room) from top to bottom, dusting, laundry, wash the walls, and everything... I usually end Sunday wishing I had started the day by going to church but that never happens :( "keep the sabbath day holy"

My fiance is Catholic and I am an inactive LDS. I have always wanted to become involved in the Mormon church but always felt like an outcast... As I am black and Mexican; majority of the LDS members around my town are white. I know race shouldn't be an issue but it always has been, since I was a little girl sitting in sacrament feeling like everyone was staring at me and my family. Which they were... Wide eyed and all. They stared and gave many compliments to my family and I... Sure this kindness should have been welcoming but I always pushed it away. However, now that I am older and have a family of my own, becoming involved in church seems like a must, it's just now I don't know what church...

The missionaries come over a lot and teach the gospel to me and my fiance, I have grown to love the company of the missionaries even though sometimes they come over at the wrong time (haha) and when they do come over they always emphasize the fact that the Mormon religion is really about "Families being together forever" this element is something I have yet to find in another church and is the one thing I love most about being Mormon.

The family factor has even drawn my fiance to some likings of the church. He is an inactive catholic, I was so happy when the missionaries finally got my fiance to go to church. It was so heart warming. He attended church by himself, as he wants no pushing from me or anyone else to get baptized. So I let him go alone, I stayed home wishing I was there with him...

Another thing I love about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints (quite the mouthful) is how they are a bit old-fashioned or thats at least how I see it. Majority of your Mormon families the wife stays home, and daddy works.. I have loved that As I am a stay at home mom. And tell me why it seems like most mormon women can bake, cook, coupon, sew, crochet, and blog like no other!? I love that.

And then there's things I like about the Catholic church... Like the history, the communion, and the way everyone prays outloud (that's a joke)...

Oh I left out how I love that in the Mormon church families can be sealed. What is a sealing? (I googled this)In Mormonism, a sealing is an ordinance (ritual), performed in temples by a person holding the sealing power. The purpose of this ordinance is to seal familiar relationships, making possible the existence of family relationships throughout eternity...
Don't you just love that. The fact that families really can be together forever even after death. And When I marry Jesus there would be no "Til death do us part" I love it. He would be stuck with me FOREVER!!! ::evil laugh:: but really this is the one thing I told myself when I was a little girl sitting in sacrament getting annoyed at all the stares. I always said I wanted my family to be sealed. I always said when I marry I would become an active member of the church. That I would teach my daughter about the Book of Mormon, and that I would try my hardest to treat my body like a temple (this is the thing I struggle most with).

who wouldn't want to be sealed in this temple?? gah gorgeous.

Well I will let you guys know how my Journey to finding a church for my family and I goes... Until then, c'est la vie!
