Greetings from Missouri!
I've been offlline a few weeks getting packed, moved and unpacked. The unpacking is still in progress, but we made it and feel this move was definitely the right thing, regardless of some of the pain, inconvenience, etc.
We love Jefferson City and the neighborhood we live in, Backed by a meadow and woods about 200 yards off. We live on a dead-end street with virtually no traffic, and even the nearest main road is also extremely light traffic, yet we are 10 minutes from the Capitol building. Trees and green everywhere. The only complaint is record heat and 70% humidity makes most days so far feel over 100 degrees.
Anyhoo, just wanted to drop a hello from the new stomping grounds. I see there is a new post in Blipits, so I must be going

Re: Greetings from Missouri!
Have you given any thought to Brigham Young speaking about a yellow dog wagging it's tail?

I have lived in Missouri since 2006. It's a wonderful state. The people here seem to be more aware of conspiring men and women.
Welcome to the land of Zion, friend!

Re: Greetings from Missouri!
Cool. You’re just up the road from us. We’re down by lake of the ozarks. This is an incredible area. One of the safest places in the nation. I wouldn’t worry about Brigham and his yellow dog. There are a lot of actual proper Christian’s (plenty of church lady’s and hipocrits too) here who experience the gifts that should follow any believers. Not many mormons. Welcome to the area. The more freedom minded people here the better

We thought we would be there in a few years, but every day without a job in Idaho, we are one day closer to selling our house and heading to Missouri.

Re: Greetings from Missouri!
Yes, and we have a yellow dog....
He was speaking specifically about Western Missouri for one thing.
For another, it was Brigham Young who said a lot of things...

Re: Greetings from Missouri!
Not why I came here, but that has been my impression as well. Scanning the FM stations, I have come across a good number of talk shows covering things that I thought most people simply weren't aware of - very heartening.InfoWarrior82 wrote: ↑August 7th, 2022, 12:02 pmOriginal_Intent wrote: ↑August 7th, 2022, 11:38 am I've been offlline a few weeks getting packed, moved and unpacked.

Re: Greetings from Missouri!
We moved here 6 years ago. I loved Alaska but we haven’t looked back. This month has been “near record” heat not actual record heat. It’s always hot here in summer. Fall and spring are nice winter isn’t bad with a few cold stretches. The humidity does take getting used to. I’m glad you like it here.

I was in the area on business in April '21, and it was really nice. My sense is there are probably going to be 8-10 weeks a year that are hot and muggy, and the winters probably a bit more pleasant than we are used to. I am also loving the lower elevation; I can exert myself for hours on end and I don't get winded but of course dripping perspiration after 2 minutes outside.

We're right there with ya, Junebug. House is on the market and we're just waiting for the door to open for our move as well. Good luck and God speed!JuneBug12000 wrote: ↑August 7th, 2022, 12:34 pm We thought we would be there in a few years, but every day without a job in Idaho, we are one day closer to selling our house and heading to Missouri.

Re: Greetings from Missouri!
I split my time, spending a fair amount of time in Missouri.
It is a very nice place.
The people who live in my area, Springfield MO, are very conservative and very aware of the conspiring, evil people in D.C. The conservative nature of people here is found both in members and non-members.
I think Brigham Young's prophecy somewhat came true already: https://civilwaronthewesternborder.org/ ... rder-no-11
It has been 150 years since then; I don't think any big terrible thing is coming to MIssouri.

Re: Greetings from Missouri!
Brigham was speaking by the spirit of prophecy when he said it, to be fair, and Heber C. Kimball (who absolutely had the spirit of prophecy) also repeated it by the spirit of prophecy when he made his famous "a test, a Test, a TEST" statement.Original_Intent wrote: ↑August 7th, 2022, 12:39 pmYes, and we have a yellow dog....

Re: Greetings from Missouri!
Missouri will be rocked.
You people saying you won’t have an issue is like me saying that I won’t have an issue. I live near the cascadia subduction zone.

I agree that everywhere may have an issue. I was just saying that I don't think Missouri is cursed more than other areas. And ... yeah I am aware of the New Madrid Fault; it is scary.Bronco73idi wrote: ↑August 10th, 2022, 7:24 pm Missouri will be rocked.

Re: Greetings from Missouri!
Nowhere is safe. This nation has rejected its God, and has not repented. The judgements are starting to fall on us. That said the lord will not hold an entire state responsible for something that happened 180 years ago in what was an obscure corner on the frontier that they have never heard of. If you mention such things that Utahns believe to locals they will look at you like you’re mentally ill and probably stupid. They’ve never even considered such a thing. Never heard of it. Jackson county is as vile as any big city area. Don’t get me started on Johnson county (next door in Kansas) I’m sure it will share the same fate as the other big city areas. But go to the rural areas and you have more followers of Christ than you have in the vast majority of Utah and the fruits of the spirit that follow Not to say there isn’t plenty of evil and messed up people too but there are many good who love and serve the lord who he will peotect

Re: Greetings from Missouri!
I grew up less than hour away from there. I will always have a fond feeling for the area. Hope you enjoy it! I have become acclimatized to Idaho weather though. Good luck on that front.

Re: Greetings from Missouri!
Welcome, and congratulations on the move. Was it tough to pull the trigger? Have you left a lot of family behind?
My wife and I took a mini vacation a couple months ago to NW Arkansas (Fayetteville up to Eureka Springs). Really loved it and are seriously considering a move up there in the next year. Still have a couple kids age 19 and 24 trying to get their feet settled a bit, but the pouring in of Californians into Texas has kind of made us want to look for greener less populated pastures. That section of AR seems to have struck our fancy.

Re: Greetings from Missouri!
I can’t stress this enough…if the Lord is telling you to go somewhere, or do something then the powers of hell should not persuade you to do otherwise. If Missouri is going down like some people say, so are other places in the rest of the country. The Lord will protect who he will and cleanse the earth as well. There’s nowhere to hide folks.
If he says, “Turn here and go straight” then you should say, “I’m on it!”
And for those who haven’t heard the lord give a specific direction then ask, seek, or carry on. If you’re listening, he’s going to provide. If you’re where you’re supposed to be in the coming afflictions, then great! God be with us all who seek the Lord.

I have lived virtually my entire life of 58 years in Utah other than my mission.
We are both put roots down and stay people, we have jawboned moving for a few years. The fact that we both got the push to pull the trigger at the same time, and also that it took almost no effort on our part, things just fell into place so perfectly, that if anything we are kind of dazed that we are here.
