We called Mom over to announce that we were joining the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Mom, Misty (Youngest sister from another father), Jason (Youngest Brother from another father) and Mark (Youngest brother from my Same father) attended. Mom didn't take it really well. In her mind, Brian and I were apostatizing. Misty was really confused and asked question after question.. But we will go into her story later.
I thought Mom was going to have a heart attack right there. She started rambling things off about how could we do such things. How she didn't teach her children right... etc... It wasn't till about a week later that she called to let us know that she prayed about us and said that she was given a confirmation that the Church is where Brian and I needed to be, at this time, to learn the "Fundamental Principles of the gospel" and then we would again Rejoin the "Priesthood" again. I didn't want to argue with her so we left it at that. We had no intentions of leaving to go back. Not with the knowledge and truths God had given us.
I don't remember how Brian's Mother (Who was still living in our basement at the time) took it. But Her Daughters Mary and Becky had already joined the church. Now it was Brian and I. We didn't tell many others because of what we saw Becky and Sam go though. We didn't wish to become targets in any way!
