That's awesome!! Why don't you invite her to mutual and dances and stuff. Not as a date but as a friend. Then you guys can get to know each other and she can learn about what is important to you. Maybe by the time you are 16, she will be baptized and then it will be great for you! But if not, then at least you'll know. I was always told to only date people that I would want to marry because otherwise, why date them? So - by getting her involved in church activities BEFORE you can date, you will be able to learn her feelings about the chuch. HAVE FUN!!

A hundred and fifty years in the past many church buildings had a reason to provide an explanation for racial variations. Some of those myths followed through person Mormons, and taught as doctrine. There used to be no real groundwork in scripture for this. These excuses don't practice and certainly not implemented. What I discover super is how the hand of the Lord used to be upon the Church to carry approximately difference. The Church recommended civil rights within the Sixties. The Prophet with the whole help of the Quorum of the Twelve elevated the Priesthood and temple blessing to all individuals. Why no longer faster is the truly query. The most effective reply I have heard used to be that we weren't in a position. Heavenly Father had a schedule. When we, the individuals, had been ready to to reside a larger legislation, it used to be given to us.

Hormones driving you nuts, huh? Well, there's good reason that God gave us these instincts - but plenty good reason why he also gave us 'For the Strength of Youth' and prophets that tell us not to date before 16.
Following God's word here isn't designed to make us unhappy. The thing is, it's easy to rush into the dating scene (and later the marriage committment) before you're ready. I'm sure you're a mature young man, and I won't belabour the point of why - your Y.M. president can do that for you ;)
What to do - you can still be friends and enjoy each-other's company. Be sure that such occasions are in the company of others. Don't give up on your standards - if she cares for you, she'll help to protect yourself from yourself. If she doesn't share or respect your standards, then things can get difficult and painful. (I hope not, but it has happened.) Believe me - she's not the only cute girl who will think you're cute. Keep an eternal perspective and hold out for that special soul that you can take to the Temple. But you've still got about another 7+ years before you ought to be thinking about that ;) Even come dating age, you'll be doing yourself a favour if you simply enjoy the dating scene instead of picking one girl and being loyal to her. There's a time for that, but right now is the time to define yourself.
Most importantly - pray about it. Answers most likely will only come piecemeal, so keep praying and studying the scriptures.

Just be her friend! The best relationships are those where the couple were friends first. Then, when you are both 16, you can ask her out on a date, if you still have the same feelings. Just take it easy and be patient. :)
Good luck!

Just be an example. Invite her to attend church, even just sacrament meeting if she doesn't want to be alone. I don't know if that counts as a date? I wouldn't think so. Fellowship her. Invite her to learn more about us and that it is a wonderful thing that will bless her life!
