I was so touched by the warmth of welcome from Dagny and Summer yesterday, thank you. I’ll try to post a bit more often.
I mainly wanted to tell you, in case it’s of interest, that GayRM and I still best friends. We connected on RfM in 2005 and met for the first time IRL on 11 December that year at an exmo meet-up he arranged. I’ll never forget the date because it was the anniversary of when I first went through the temple. I send him a Happy Anniversary to us message every year :)
He’s amazing. Steve and I had dinner with him and his fiancé when we were in London last year and it was so fun to see them.
I remember with huge fondness Scottishboy, Matt and tonnes of other amazing exmos I met in the UK, who’s RfM monikers I’ve since forgotten, we had loads of exmo meet ups back then.
And of course I ended up marrying one exmo in particular :) His sister and I were companions on our mission in England in 1985 and have remained close friends ever since. She introduced us in 2008 after we’d both been divorced and left the church. I have long suspected she was trying to tie up two loose ends.
