I GOT MY LAPTOP BACK!!! And there is NOTHING missing :] I didn't lose anything and that makes me the happiest girl! :] Not only that, I got a letter from my Elder on Tuesday and it had 2 inside. One for right then and another to open on my birthday! :] Can't wait!
Now for the "sad" part of the title... I had TWO different roommates on TWO different days say waiter-hater comments. The first one: We were arguing over dating while you have a missionary. She said that if I were to go on a date with a guy while I have a missionary out that I would be wasting his time and money. SERIOUSLY?! Ok, ya I love my mish. I WANT to marry him. Does that mean that I KNOW and ABSOLUTELY going to? NO! No one on EARTH knows that! I want to go on dates and get to know other guys to see if my mish is the one for me. I can't do that if I don't go on dates.
The second one: She compared waiting for a missionary to HAVING SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE! There is NO WAY that those two things are RELATED!! In ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM! She said that all she knows is that we have been told not to do either one so she sees no difference between them. But, she is WRONG! We may have been CAUTIONED to not date seriously before a mission but General Authorities have just said if you are going to wait, do it the right way. For proof, here is a link:

Both of those comments are both stupid. lol I'm really glad that you are open to dating other people. It just gives you more experience. And when you do get married, you won't wonder what you might have missed.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, I have never heard any quotes by any authorities saying that you shouldn't date seriously before a mission. I have heard them say that you shouldn't date seriously before you are 18. This is so that the boys actually go on a mission! And comparing that to sex before marriage is just idiotic...
