After the first few weeks of school, I met a girl who seemed
really interesting. We were at Family Home Evening with the ward.
She seemed to be stuck
to this guy so I figured she was already taken, but I couldn’t just let it go
without making sure. When I went over to talk to them, they seemed almost like
brother and sister. He kept grabbing her around the neck and messing with her
hair, but she just took it. I kept asking probing questions like, “How do you
two know each other?” But I wasn’t really getting anywhere. No “boyfriend” or “girlfriend”
was mentioned. Jessie (that is the name of the girl) seemed very kind, and I
warned her and the others around that I would be contacting all of them soon to
get their information for my calling as Assistant Ward Membership Clerk. The
next day during my Doctrine and Covenants class I was taking notes on the
syllabus and my teacher invited us to seek revelation, even though we wouldn’t
be covering anything besides the technical aspects of class. I still have the
paper that says “Ask out Jess.” I was in the library studying that night and I
figured I would follow the prompting to ask her out, so I texted her just to
keep myself present in her mind. I found an excuse to ask for her sister’s
birthday “so I could request her records from church headquarters”, and I
figured I would just let the conversation fizzle automatically and then talk to
her in person later. She had different plans. We kept texting and that same
night we went out on our first date. Things went really fast from there. Who
knows what is in store for the future!
