These past few days I have been feeling so awful and sick. I have just been praying to feel even an ounce better so I could go to church. I woke up this morning feeling a little bit better and decided to go. I am so glad we did. The lessons were great and I got to see a new face again this week. I always love seeing other people at church with tattoos. I converted so I had all of my tattoos before converting. I always get excited to see others because then I don't feel as left out. Who knows if I would have even gotten any if I was born and raised into this specific faith. Anyways... we also talked about tithing and offerings today. For those who may not know what tithing is...its basically a 10% payment( if possible) to the church. One thing that I liked is that we talked about that the money goes for. The building of Temples, churches, Missionary programs, printing of the actual Book of Mormon and so much more. Unlike other religions leadership is a calling instead of an occupation, so most leaders in our church do not get paid any percentage of the money its members give. The paying of tithing is intimidating to me, but I have heard so many stories of others miracle of being able to pay and feeling the blessings occur. I want this to for Andrew and I. I am looking forward to giving back as much as I can.
Have a great week!
