It has probably been a year since I put my family on hold long enough to go to the temple. I finally went this morning. I really want to make sure I go more often than that going forward.
Laura has been asking me to only pay tithing on half or money and give her the other half since she has lost any faith in the church for now. Yesterday I asked her to read the Book of Mormon daily if I would commit to give her that much more money. Her reaction was much worse than I expected. After taking some time to think she suggested instead that she could get a recommend and go to the temple instead. I have accepted that although I’m not sure if that will prove to be a good thing. I think there are things she will like in the changes they have made but I’m not fully confident that she can honestly answer all the questions to get a recommend right now and I can see the possibility that going to the temple could trigger her anger more.
Well see how that all plays out but she is planning to go to a temple recommend interview tomorrow.
