My wife and i are going to Hawaii for our 20th and i have been tanning before we go.

People (tbms) have mentioned, hey your really tan!

My response, ya you know its really strange, ive been putting 50spf sunblock everyday and i just keep getting darker and darker.

I think god might be turning me into a lamanite

I get some laughs, but i also get some shi#y looks. My tbm wife doesn't like my sense of humor sometimes ;)

Haha... It's too bad you can't share the look on their faces. I bet she doesn't!

When I was 13 years old, I had a Lamenite sister...I love her dearly to this day! I remember my Dad telling us at suppertime that she was getting lighter and lighter...that didn't sit well with her real family...ugh!!

OMG that is hilarious and messed up all at the same time. It is amazing what the doctrines of truth teach members!

When I was a kid, there were a bunch of the Lamanite youth that lived with various families in our ward. One girl returned for many years. She said that her first year, the mom scrubbed her with a brush. Scrubbed and scrubbed to get the dirt off. :shock: WTF?
