SECOND VERSE NOT SAME AS THE FIRST

Well, when I got to Guri, Venezuela my Dad had a job ready for me and the other girl and we worked in an office with a bunch of people who spoke spanish and a lady from Cuba. She fed us a nice Cuban dinner one night but of course I was a very picky eater at that time so I am sure I would appreciate it alot more now. We had to go through all these files...it was just busy work so we could have a job. While I was there this one guy kept after me to go out with him so I started dating him and when I got back to Utah I was met at the airport by my Grandparents Bird and my steady boyfriend Larry. Well, I had decided to break up with Larry so I did and he was not to happy with me. In fact one time I was walking down the street and he rode by and flipped me off...can you imagine that??? I just could not believe he did that. I was so nieve!!! Well, I went through the school year having fun like I always do and I dated then in April here comes Larry to my house on Easter Sunday, it was snowing and he asked me to go for a ride with him. This time he was driving that black ambulance/hurse. So we drove all over Utah county and ended up at Stan's on 9th east for a hamburger. We have been together ever since!!!
On my 18th birthday I ditched school and Larry took me to Salt Lake City to buy my graduation dress. On the way up he told me he wanted to show me something really cool...you know like FAR OUT!!! So he had no religious intention at all but he took me to Temple Square. I had never been there in my life and the minute I stepped onto that sacred ground I had the spiritual experience of my life. Larry just wanted to show me how they had painted the heavens, planets, stars etc. above the Chistis. I remember walking past the statues of Joseph and Oliver receiving the Aaronic preisthood, I had know idea what it was but I was feeling the spirit so strong. Now at this point we were just dating, no talk of marriage or engagment. I said to Larry... with wide eyes "Lar, we need to change our lives and get into the church. He looked at me and said "Cool, that would be Far Out! I said you know we would have to dump all of our friends because we couldn't be good and be friends with them. I don't know if he thought I was serious or not but I was. We made our way into the Visitors Center and I just walked around wide eyed and my mouth hanging open and when I saw the statue of Christ, the spirit told me then and there that the Restored Gospel was true!!! So I don't really know how the subject of marriage came up but it was probably me that mentioned it but not that day is was a month or two later. We were engaged on July 24, 1969. Third Verse I will tell you the whole engagment story...it is quite funny!!!
