Hey guys. I have a friend who is desperately in need right now. She's just left her abuser, and any help you could give is appreciated.
I am a good friend of hers and I swear this is true. I had permission to post this.
Please share this to help out.

Well, here's another first... I lost my rental car in the Payson UT Temple parking lot.
Thank the lord for the nice lady that let me hop in her car and drove me around watching for flashing lights as I clicked my key fob. #SaintsOnX

Yesterday, I was sealed to my parents at the Saratoga Springs Temple.
Mom, Dad, I love you and miss you. I'll see you again one day, and we can spend eternity with each other.
Big thank you to all four of my original missionary sisters (plus another) who were able to be there! #SaintsOnX
So based on what my symptoms were, there's a possibility of my symptoms being a TIA, OR some form of seizure. Hopefully the EEG tests will give some kind of answer.

I hope the two schmucks who pushed their way past EMTs and lied to get to baggage claim see this.
Shame on you, and have some respect for medical emergencies and medical personnel.
Last night, there was a medical emergency on my flight home.
When we got to the gate, emergency personnel came on board to help her off. She nearly collapsed in the jet bridge.
While on the bridge, two young men forced their way around me and the EMTs helping her, claiming they had to “catch their next flight.”
This was Indianapolis at 9 PM. If you know anything about Indy airport, there are hardly any departures at that hour. I had a feeling they were lying.
So I kept pace with them and watched them walk straight to baggage claim.
People, man. 🙄

Had my MRA imaging done today. Spent 45 minutes in what is essentially a giant magnetic donut hole.
The fun thing is when you are thinking of specific things, different parts of your brain light up.
I kept thinking about Final Fantasy music, so the music parts of my brain must have been lighting up like a Christmas tree!

Honestly, I think this bill is a fantastic idea. Making childbirth free will cut down on the amount of abortions (lots of abortions cite finances as a primary concern and reason for the procedure), AND it will encourage larger families, because the parents won't have to worry about going into parenthood in debt. facebook.com/share/1E9AehiLu…
Keep me in your prayers guys. Still no answers on the medical issues. I've been in the hospital 3 times in the past 3 weeks.
Catholics: You guys hide your temple ceremonies and aren't allowed to talk about them. We don't do that!
Also Catholics, see oath taken by all involved in the conclave:
"I, N.N., promise and swear that, unless I should receive a special faculty given expressly by the newly-elected Pontiff or by his successors, I will observe absolute and perpetual secrecy with all who are not part of the College of Cardinal electors concerning all matters directly or indirectly related to the ballots cast and their scrutiny for the election of the Supreme Pontiff.
I likewise promise and swear to refrain from using any audio or video equipment capable of recording anything which takes place during the period of the election within Vatican City, and in particular anything which in any way, directly or indirectly, is related to the process of the election itself.
I declare that I take this oath fully aware that an infraction thereof will incur the penalty of automatic (‘latae sententiae’) excommunication reserved to the Apostolic See.
So help me God and these Holy Gospels which I touch with my hand."

My husband asked me to explain why LDS believe infant baptism isn't necessary. I did, saying we don't believe people are culpable for their own individual sin before the age of reason (Ie the understanding of good and evil and being able to consciously choose one or the other).
He wanted more evidence from scripture. I told him we do have it, but they come from scriptures Catholics don't recognize. "You're asking me to defend my faith, but by YOUR standards. That's like telling a boxer he can only defend with one arm, and the other is tied behind his back."
He ceded the point.
Scheduling medical appointments to figure out what's going on with me. One is an EEG to look at my brain.
Got a call from the neurology department, and the soonest available appointment is when I'm out of town, and I can't cancel the trip. The next available one is in JULY.
God forbid something happens while I'm waiting, and does severe damage or kills me in the interim... So much for urgency. 🙄

It's sinking in that whatever is happening with my body, something is very wrong with me. And I don't know what the cause is.
Not knowing that, or when I'll have another episode, is terrifying.
Makes you think of your mortality. Of our very fragile nature as human beings.

So, today's hospital experience was a miserable one. Last week, I had a TIA aka mini stroke, followed by today's symptoms of disorientation, slurred and stammering speech, double vision, and right side weakness.
They performed a CT and did blood work, exactly the same thing as last time. Both came up with no reason for my symptoms.
I asked for an MRA, which would give a better inspection of my blood vessels and was already recommended to me by my primary care doctor, as well as an EEG, which was recommended to me by a neurology specialist that the hospital sent to talk with me. This was denied me, multiple times when I asserted my need to have these procedures.
They attempted to tell me that I misunderstood the neurology specialist (I didn't), and refused the MRA and EEG on the grounds they needed to be done outpatient.
I finally told them I could pull up my doctor's official recommendation for the MRA procedure, which they REFUSED to look at, and said "even if you show us your doctor's recommendation for that procedure, it doesn't mean you'll be receiving that here. That being said, you WON'T be receiving that procedure here, and we are discharging you."
I told them they can expect a formal complaint.

This is true. I had to read the Book of Mormon with an open mind and heart before it could have any real effect on my life.
What happens when people encounter truth without knowing where it came from?
Somebody made a YouTube video that is just a computerized audio recording of the Book of Moses. They don't say where it came from, or that Joseph Smith had anything to do with it. Just that it's "lost apocrypha." It's been listened to half a million times, and the comments say things like:
"I got literal chills reading this."
"One thing that makes me believe is that this account confirms what is in the Bible and exalts Christ Jesus!"
"I'm absolutely blown away... this talks about parallel universes."
"I’m 75... I remember hearing this when I was 3. Grandmother read it to me... it seems to be in order."
"So much has been hidden from the people that yearn to know all the truth."
It goes to show that if you don't have a preconceived negative perception about something coming from a source you believe is "impossible," you're more open to the truth.
Wonder how many more people would believe the Book of Mormon if they approached it with that attitude?

Hey guys, continued prayers would be appreciated. It's been a week since my mini stroke, and I'm feeling so out of it.
I'm pretty much the same way. Random blog posts of my life. Thank you for the wonderful community that is #SaintsOnX!
Well... this was completely unexpected! 😅
The LDS community on X is something truly special!
I've always treated my profile like a personal blog, just sharing random things for myself, so seeing real people actually read my essay was not what I expected...
Huge thanks for all the follows, kind comments, and well wishes. I hope I disappoint 😅. Beware I sometimes share motorsports posts.
THANK YOU!
