Lds only please?

Question

I have been a member for about a year. I use to go out and party all the time and drink but of course I dont any more. what can I do for fun. I have a hard time being friends with mormons cause most of them havnt been through what I have been through. but I cant stay friends with my old ones cause all they want to do is party. pluss im a young mom and there are no young moms that go to my church. The young coupes that go to my ward dont have kids so its hard to relate. What should i do?

Answer 1

Try finding a singles ward in your area, they do activities almost every week, they are usually really fun and it's a great way to meet other single members who share your same values. Yes- you can go the singles wards even with kids -it's OK! I know several who do and it's no big deal.
When you say "they haven't been through" what you have...are you worried they will judge you? One thing we of course believe in is repentance. Everyone can change, everyone has the opportunity to repent and become "clean" from whatever... so if you feel you are being judged, know that you probably aren't and IF they are judging you, they will be held accountable for that.
My husband and I and other couples are the only active couples in our "group" of friends so we tend to hang out with only those two couples.
Ask your Heavenly Father for help, maybe even ideas of what you can do for fun. I promise, if you are faithful, he will bless you with what you need and want.
For babysitters - get a list of names of the Young Women in your ward who are 12-15 (they are usually the best because they aren't out on weekends dating!).
Good luck and may our Heavenly Father bless you.

Answer 2

I, for once, agree with a former member. I think you should get involved with Relief Society. Now that we are not having Home Family & Personal Enrichment every month, my ward has formed Groups. People can attend which ever ones they want. We have a book club, a group that get's together with their kids at the park, and since we have a temple behind our Stake Center, there is a Temple group, as well as a scrapebooking group, and a "walk in the building while your kids are in Seminary" group. All of these groups meet when they can and announcements are usually put in a RS newsletter or announced in an email.
I've been a member for 14 years and it's been my experience that if you want something done you have to be pro-active about it. If you wait for someone else to do it, you'll be waiting for all eternity.

Answer 3

As an ex-mormon, I would say you get involved with the relief-society. Mormons create things from scratch. You find a hobby or gardening and do it. You can ask your ward if yu can create what the christian call a cell group. Its a small group of ladies that can meet at your house for potluck dinners to socialize and talk about how to raise kids in a single household and how to find a good LDS man, you ask the Bishops of the surrounding churches if this is OK, and if it isn't well they are stupid and this way, you arelike visiting teachers to each other, you meet once a week to uplift each other and help each other. You will find this in the book of ACTS. When Peter first stated his church, they met in houses, in small groups. Tjis is what the Christians do, but they have differant groups to serve and feed the need of the body of Christ.

Answer 4

If you are a Mormon then I suggest that you make new friends with people outside the church. If you aren't then go to various activities, you can still go party, partying doesn't mean that you have to drink just keep that in check other than that hire a babysitter and have some responsible fun.

Answer 5

you should go out and find friends that share your interests..

Answer 6

be a christian we party it up and way more layed back
