I was sitting here at work thinking what could I do to my other half this morning. My brainstorming concluded that I should repent of my sins and make a request to get reinstated. Instead of calling her at home, I figured she was probably in front of her computer doing bills and such so I shot off an email. I BCC'd her so it would appear that the email was being sent to a bunch of people and not just her. Here is what I wrote:
"To all my friends and family,
I know that I have put many of you through rough times lately due to my disfellowshipping a few months ago. It was not my decision to be df'd, but the elders made it clear that I would always be welcomed back if I truly repented for what I did. After having a few months of time to think about this matter, I have decided to return to the organization. Hopefully, I will be reinstated before the year is up and once again be allowed to join you in fellowship."
It took my wife all of one minute after I sent this for her to call me. She was thrilled. She was asking me if I had already spoken with the elders blah blah blah. I didn't want to draw this out so I told her, "Hun, what do you really think?" She paused for a couple seconds and said, "April 1st, ha ha, very funny. I hope everyone else you sent this to thinks it's funnier than I did. *Click*" She was pissed. I tried calling right back but she let it go to voicemail. I sure hope our dinner plans are still a go tonight......
