Finally decided to join

Hello Everyone, I always feel very awkward introducing myself because I never know exactly what to say. Whenever I am visiting or moving to a new ward I always try to hide in priesthood when they look for visitors because it always feels weird talking about myself.
Anyway...
I have been reading through the forums for a few months now and finally decided it was time to join and contribute where I can. My gospel knowledge is not as great as most on this board so I probably won't be contributing much, but I will try to contribute where I feel I can. I am also quiet and a little, so I normally don't have much to say anyway (thankfully my wife more than makes up for that aspect of things ;) ).
I am living in a constant state of suspense wondering what is coming next. Sometimes I feel like I am watching a movie as I see some of the events in the world unfolding, knowing what will be coming but not how or when, I hate waiting. This is why I chose the name Suspense, plus it is also a nick-name I have had for a while also. Even though I don't feel completely prepared I am eagerly awaiting the return of The Savior and the end of the reign of wicked men and their secret combinations.
I also really wanted to thank everyone on the forums for everything they have been contributing over the past few months, I had been going through some tough struggles and a lot of the testimonies and insights that were shared on here helped to pull me through some of it. Being the shy person that I am, I normally try to fight through things all on my own, and reading some of the posts on here helped motivate me to keep on fighting. So thank you everyone.
I guess that is good enough for an intro for now, if I missed anything you need or want to know, let me know.

It's always good to get a little introduction from new forum members so we can get to know you a little better, since we can't see or hear you.

Welcome!

Welcome! It's our differences that make this forum interesting. We all see the world through our own lens, and that lens is formed by our experiences and understanding. No one has a perfect lens, but I find it mind broadening to try and see things the way others do and compare it to my own.

Welcome, Suspense! Many (including myself) can relate to what you said about visiting or being in a new ward. My husband and I had to stand up at least 3 or more times in our current ward to introduce ourselves because our ward has a lot of members moving in and out and I guess people couldn't figure out we weren't new anymore...we would cringe every time, haha!

Looking forward to your posts :)
