I remember back when Mrs. Hela and I were both TBMs, and she told me what she valued most about me. Of course, she mentioned "worthy priesthood and temple recommend holder" near the top of her list.

Speaking earlier this week - on occasion of her birthday - Mrs. Hela said she most valued my honesty, integrity and ethics. Later in the conversation, she also stated that I had too much integrity to have remained a mormon.

What a difference just a couple years and a complete change of perspective can make!

Ain't that the truth! Yes, indeed, perspective changes!

Being a convert, and never being able to learn to think like a "Born in the Bed" Mormon, ...I didn't think of a lot of those Mormon things anyhow.
So, I think I had a head start! :-)

Can't wait for my DW to see the light.
