I have moved to Boise, Idaho last May on the 31st. Although I am glad I left Alaska it's been hard starting over again. But the Lord has blessed me with so much since being here. Some Mormon women through away alot of my personal belongings for me including nice clothes, all my books and ECE books when I attended Grays Harbor College in Washington State, and gifts given to me from my sisters, and my temple dresses, and threw my sacred garments in a Liquor Store box to send to me. And they donated them to a Second Hand Store in Wasilla, Alaska. The RS President was behind it all. I was pretty much heartbroken when I found out what they did. Plus one woman was given all my beautiful material and it took me months to get it from her.
It's been hard forgiving these so called christian Mormon women what they did to me. I left the church many years ago after my abusive husband was given a temple recommend and took belts and beat his kids with them and treated me like a nobody. I always believed in my religion but had seen so much abuse in my church including abusive family members that I just walked away.
The only thing that saved me was a good bishop in Anchorage who helped me come back to church. I now have a temple recommend but since coming to Boise have only gone a few times. I just live five miles away and no excuse not to go except health problems and cost of gasoline going up to almost $4 a gallon. My sister Janis sent me a beautiful temple dress.
I almost lost my sister in December and to tell you the truth? She's about the only family member I have left. The rest could care less. I have more friends from Anchorage calling me than I do family members. I'm glad my sister Carolyn is now a temple worker in Portland but she too kind of keeps to herself these days.
