Big choices

[deherodes]

Recently my life has been full of big choices. Not just my life but the lives of those closest to me. My girlfriend moved back down to Phoenix last night. Not because we were fighting, or because of any problems in our relationship, but because she started taking the new member discussions. She began taking them up here, and when she did I called my Bishop and asked him if it was true that a person couldn't get baptized if they were living with there boyfriend, even if they weren't having sex or sleeping in the same room. He said that it is on a case by case basis, but that it was pretty much true. Then he councelled me to move out. She wound up moving out which is better, because she dosn't have to pay rent where she is living right now. I know that the council of the Bishop is the best thing to do and that this is the right choice. She has her first discussion with the sisters down there tonight at seven. I'm glad that she is doing this on her own, because I want her to do this for herself, and not for me.

Shew wants us to get married in two weeks. We both think that she can take the discussions, and get baptized and confirmed in that time. I don't know if I am ready to get married, or if I want to get married to her. That is another reason that I am glad that she is doing this on her own. I don't want her to join just because she thinks that we are going to get married if she does. We have only been together for three months and we have faught a lot during that time, so I think that it is way to soon for us.
