Hey Jenna,
I have a couple questions which could probably all be one post. Something like LDS Marriage views or some similar title. Here are some specific things I’ve been pondering:

- If your spouse, whom you are sealed to, dies, and you remarry, are you sealed to two men for eternity? Or restated, does the church in any way discourage remarriage after the death of a spouse?

- How does the LDS faith interpret the passage in Matthew where Jesus tells us that in heaven there will be no marriage and that we will “be like the angels in heaven?” (Matthew 22:23-33)

I really thank you for taking the time to answer our questions. The LDS faith is one I’ve always been curious about.

As a (Catholic) anthropologist who studies human reproduction, I would be interested in the views of the LDS church on things like birth control, IVF and other infertility treatments, medically necessary abortions, etc. Thank you for explaining things in an accessible way to those of us from different backgrounds!

Same as everyone else along with the other topics you mentioned-church hierarchy, mission work, converting ie your hubbies and other’s experiences)…Its all very interesting to me. Thanks so much!

I love this! I would like to hear more about the LDS garments, what wearing them entails, whether everyone does it/ is it more of a personal choice or a requirement of the church. What are the rules/guidelines regarding treatment of the garments (colour, washing, when you can take them off etc.)

I love the Sunday posts. I’d love to hear more about:
- what goes on during Sunday services in an LDS Church. I know you’re at Church a long time on Sundays, longer than most other Christian Churches, so an overview of the service would be really cool.
- history of LDS? I know a fair bit, but it would be cool to hear if you have classes about the history at BYU and what they focus on.
- what’s your favorite part about the Church? about Salt Lake City? I love the temple, the safety of the city, the rich history.

I would be more interested in knowing about missions, like the one TH did in New York. I’ve seen them mentioned both on your blog and other sources yet I still feel a bit in the dark about them.

I really enjoy your Sunday posts. I do them as well on my blog, in a slightly different context.

Hi Jenna! I am loving these Sunday post. They are so educational and it’s great to hear it from someone our own age. What about topics such as temple garments? Emergency food storage? Or even more controversial such as the church’s stance on the Mountain Meadows massacre?

Keep it up!
