Apparently classmates has changed a lot since I entered the original story above. It asked those
questions and that's the way it came out years ago.
Anyways what I'm really interested in is getting
married and starting a family I guess. In all these
years I've never been able to find a decent woman
and get married. Either they are decent and taken
or they aren't decent at all or they aren't interested
in me. I felt I found a decent girl once but it hasn't
turned out so well so far. I met a Mormon Missionary
girl in 200...Expand for more
2 at my Sister Hannah's house who was
from Finland. She said your name in Bible , My name
in book of Mormon pointing out the name Sariah
in the book of Mormon where it points to the Marriage
of Sariah and Lehi. Recognizing Lehi as a new name
given unto me based on a decision made while I was
at Micron I immediately thought wife. Didn't say wife
just thought it and she said out loud I'll be your wife
as soon as you come up. She said she was 22
and asked my age to which I replied 35. I went
to the church to find her but could not. One problem
is that I had given up everything I owned save for
a few clothes and wouldn't have had a way to financially support her. Well I started my old shop
back up and eventually got enough money to go
to Finland to find her in 2007. I did find her but
she claims that she never said I will be your wife
as soon as you come up and she said I'll never be your Sariah , I'll never be your Sariah. She asked what I would do now and I said I don't know.
She wished me good luck in my life.
I now wrote a book called Poems to live and Die by
that contains a Poem I wrote for her and other poems that I wrote for Russian Girls that emailed me. It should be available for sale soon on Amazon and on Barnes and Noble online. I should also be selling it at my store next month hopefully. If I get enough finances eventually I may write a book detailing the whole encounter and how I came to recognize the name Lehi.
And hopefully I will eventually get married. I know the vast majority of the public has gotten married young and many I graduated with their kids are already out of the house and yet I haven't even had
kids myself yet or got to enjoy many of the things many of you did.
Well that story tells a bit more instead of just the schools I went to and the jobs I worked though I must
admit work has been most of my life so far.
Sincerely,
Jon Beckmon
