• This Months Loganside

    The November Loganside will be on November 15th, 2009, at 7:00 pm as usual. Chuck Mitchel will speak to us.

    Chuck was born and grew up in rural Southern Idaho. Chuck served a full-time mission for the LDS Church in the Florida Tallahassee Mission where he learned to speak Southern. He met his wonderful wife at a student ward, and they were married in 2003. Chuck asked her to accompany him on the piano while he sang a special musical number in sacrament meeting and jokes that she’s been “accompanying him ever since.” Chuck and his wife are the parents of two boys, four and two, and a ten month old baby girl.

    Chuck graduated from Ricks College in 2000 and had a short lay-over at Idaho State University where he met his wife. He then enrolled at Utah State University where he graduated with dual bachelor degrees in Social Work and Sociology in 2007. He graduated from Institute and earned both certificates available post-graduation. He finished his graduate work at the University of Utah in 2008 with a Masters in Social Work, and he hopes to go on to achieve his Doctorate. Currently, Chuck works in private practice in Southeast Idaho as a Social Worker. He works with adolescent males with a variety of issues including individuals with unwanted same-sex attraction, sex addictions, and juvenile sex offenders.

    Chuck has worked with homosexual attraction issues for ten years, both his and also assisting others. He has participated in, and facilitated, online support groups for LDS individuals struggling with their attractions and trying to maintain the Gospel standards. He assisted in planning an organization that ssists adolescents with their journey. When Chuck couldn’t find the support he wanted, he and his therapist formed a support group for same-sex attracted men in his area. Chuck has been actively involved in support groups when possible.

    Chuck will be talking about his life experiences, relationships with others, and some common stumbling blocks for trying to live the Gospel who experience homosexual feelings.

Loganside

Posted on July 14, 2009 by hiddeninthelight

As some of you know, we have started holding firesides in the Logan area.  We’ve had to move around a lot, but now that my entire family knows about me, we will be holding them in my parents home.  Everyone is welcome to come!  The next one will be Monday the 20th at 7:00, and we are having a BBQ.  Bring your own meat to grill and a side, and we’ll provide buns and drinks.

Just as a heads up, the next few firesides will include a songwriter as well as an addiction recovery therapist, and at some point in the future we will hopefully have Craig Jessop, former director of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir speak to us.  We have a lot of great things coming soon!

If you are interested in coming to a Loganside, email me at hiddenlight@ymail.com (not gmail), and I’ll give you directions!
