Welcome Suzette
That is a really nice calling and a very surprising one too. Is it for a shelter as a missionary service?
I Hope it would be gathering clothes for any age child with a single parent. In our ward they had to be baptized into the church after the birth of the child. If they are still members they have to get married or give the child to LDS social services or be excommunicated. I know with me after I almost died and the doctor kept trying to talk me into abortion I was not gonna give my baby up so I got married. ( at the time I did not know you could get re-baptized and thought it was denying the Holy ghost not to take one of the options) I was even asked to read and watch talks given by the prophet with explanations to why those were the options given to me by the bishop. I remind myself everyday Heavenly father intended me to marry this man knowing I would not give up my baby I fought so hard for.
It would be nice to hear your testimonies as you continue your calling. I know they are going to need all they help they can get.0 -
Hi! It is sort of community outreach program. I live in a very small ward and fortunately we do not have any unwed mothers-to-be. We have single parents, but they are recent coverts that have kids.
I am also a recent convert, I am about 7 months old, as me and one of my other friends who is a convert term it! LOL! I am thrilled that I finally found the true church! I had spent my whole adult life looking. I liked some things about one church and some about others, but nobody had all the information. Ironically I have been married to a man (for 3 years) that was raised Mormon, but had stepped away from the church for almost 20 years, he found his inspiration to re-aquaint himself when I started the lessons. I feel so lucky to have him! He is so kind and giving! 0 -

My name is Sarah, and I'm 31 years old, in Columbus, Ohio. I'm originally from California, though. I'm 5'4", single/never married, no kids, no pets.
In my spare time I'm involved in Toastmasters, writing, graphic design, and giving advice on MetaFilter. I also love camping and kayaking, and wish I did a lot more of both of them than I actually do.
Sports/activities that I like to participate in include kayaking, ice skating, hiking, walking in 5k races (I'm faster than some of the runners!) and other solo activities. I want to be involved in tennis, racquetball, etc., but it's hard to find anyone to play with.
The only sports I like to watch are dance, gymnastics, competitive cheerleading, and Ohio State football. I'll watch other college football when it's on - I root for Notre Dame, Army, Navy, Air Force, and BYU, more or less in that order. I grew up rooting for USC but they need to win my heart back after the travesty that was the 2000s.
Yes, I have a car.
I don't really have a single favorite film - I like the Lord of the Rings films, What Dreams May Come, the first Matrix, the first Pirates of the Caribbean, Life is Beautiful, Schindler's List, Star Trek and Star Wars generally, Chicago, etc. I often enjoy semi-mindless action films that violate basic principles of physics, but I was seriously insulted by, e.g., the fourth Indiana Jones film. Same goes for music - I don't really like modern jazz or a lot of modern country, but my MP3 player is filled with everything from the Mormon Tabernacle Choir to the Monkees to Tupac to the Boston Pops and random BBC concerts.
I work as an analyst for the government, so I (alas) sit around too much.
My family is basically supportive, to the extent they know anything at all about what I'm doing. There are a lot of obesity-related health problems in my immediate family, and my stepdad is a Type II diabetic now, so the judging on food choices and the pressure to eat badly is definitely reduced from when I was a kid. But my mom won't drink anything but whole milk and has lots of candy out still, and is surprised when I suggest we make some healthy dishes along with the turkey and potatoes on Thanksgiving, so it's a mixed bag.
I'm very much a comfort eater of carbs. Not really the pure sweets - I have a box of candy oranges and a box of licorice on my desk and I eat maybe four orange slices a week, and 6 pieces of licorice. It's more about the refried beans, potatoes, fried tortilla chips, chocolate milk, etc.
I do not currently hold a calling - I actually struggle to get myself to church due to social anxiety. But I know the church is true, and I know that Heavenly Father is looking out for me and wants me to take care of my body and get healthy - probably much more than I do, to be honest! I'm very grateful for the support I've gotten from church members online and in my ward both with my health struggles and with keeping my testimony up despite everything that's going on in my life. I'm glad that the gospel is on the earth and helps people be better in every way; I don't think I can really quantify all the ways it's helped me.0
