Things to know

Regularly read by 50,000+ readers in over 140 countries around the world, "Dear Bro Jo" is published several times a month.

This is column is just one guy's opinion, and while he does his best to keep what he thinks, says and writes in-line with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, "Dear Bro Jo" is not an LDS Church website. (And Sister Jo thinks you should know that he's sometimes wrong, and often way too opinionated for his own good.)

Followup: How Do You Get Your Kids to Go to a Church School

Dear Bro Jo,

Well posting my original letter at this time made me reflect on the last two years and the journey to a decision.

I let my daughter make the choice.

After researching every state and school for her major she applied to the state university, a couple private schools and BYU, she was accepted to all and received generous scholarship packages from all of them except BYU which is subsidized by tithing dollars of course.

I prayed and knew she was headed to NY but I waited and watched her struggle to find her own answer.

I did check out the institute programs and called the local bishops.

I also talked to a parent who sent her daughter to NY for college and listened to her advice.

It is a leap of faith but following Heavenly Father's personal plan for you is the most important thing.

I hope all the high school seniors study and pray to know where they should go:)

PS All the smart young men are going to have to do internships in New York City so they can meet her!

Dear Parent,

Thank you so much for the update!

One of the hardest things a parent needs to do is to know when and how to hold back; it's something I'm sure I could improve upon.

Thank you for your testimony of prayer, and be assured: New York is FULL of smart LDS Single Men.

- Bro Jo
