    Ciao!

    I am half Italian but I wish I spoke the language! My conversion story actually takes place in Italy. Perhaps you can share it with your friends:
  7. Cliff, I converted to the Church as a result of an experience I had in Rome! Wow, so glad you found the gospel. My whole family on my father's side immigrated from Italy. I think you might appreciate watching this video that talks about my experience in Italy with the Book of Mormon:

  20. CreoleCath, prayer is certainly the key. Don't be discouraged if the answers don't come immediately. It took me a long time (over 6 months) and finally received an answer, as you saw in my video. Just keep seeking for guidance and direction, knowledge and faith, and all of it will be granted to you.

I too was Catholic most of my life and am grateful for my upbringing in the Catholic faith. It served as a great foundation for me. I would like to invite you to hear my story hear if you have a few minute:
  23. thekabalist, PLEASE IGNORE Pegasus. I sincerely apologize for the accusations he is making about you. He does not represent the thoughts or opinions of anyone other than himself and he is wrong.
  24. I believe this is a worthwhile video to watch to everyone who is participating in this discussion: YouTube - Are Mormon Christians? Mormon Messages by Elder Gary J Coleman Are We Christians
  25. thekabalist, there is no doubt that you are an extremely special person. I feel honored to have played a "cameo" role in your dream. You have now had several dreams all related to the LDS Church (being in an LDS temple, baptismal font, seeing a golden book, etc.) I believe the meaning of your dreams to be self evident. I believe your heart and mind is being prepared for a "new calling" in life as mine once was 12 years ago. I want to quote a few passages from the title page and introduction of the Book of Mormon: ‘Which is to show unto the remnant of the House of Israel what great things the Lord hath done for their fathers; and that they may know the covenants of the Lord, that they are not cast off forever—And also to the convincing of the Jew and Gentile that JESUS is the CHRIST, the ETERNAL GOD, manifesting himself unto all nations.” “We invite all men everywhere to read the Book of Mormon, to ponder in their hearts the message it contains, and then to ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ if the book is true. Those who pursue this course and ask in faith will gain a testimony of its truth and divinity by the power of the Holy Ghost. (See Moroni 10: 3-5.) Those who gain this divine witness from the Holy Spirit will also come to know by the same power that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world, that Joseph Smith is his revelator and prophet in these last days, and that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the Lord’s kingdom once again established on the earth, preparatory to the second coming of the Messiah.” This is the reason you have been having these dreams. This is the reason you are fascinated by the Book of Mormon. The Master of the Universe is extending his hand to you and asking you to follow Him in the light of truth and salvation. He has much greater things to teach you yet. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Your brother and friend, rren
