  1. thank-you very much for your opinions! these will help me get through the reading and enjoy them while im at it!
  2. Hi, Can anyone advise on a good book or books to supplement my reading of the book of mormon? Preferably something from the online LDS store. It might give me a better understanding of what's going on. Thanks!
  3. Hello, Just wondering where can I buy the book that has both the bible and mormon book inside? I see people at church that said their books have both the bible, mormon book, and another book, and they have a cool zip book cover, never seen it before. Thanks!
  4. Thank-you, where would be a good place to take her? Obviously not a bar/coffee shop/movies, all of which I mentioned when I first met her lol.
  5. I think she meant service as church. Also not sure what she meant exactly by congregation? All I know is that there is a singles group for people in a certain age group. Im guessing maybe in the 20s. Maybe I'm slow haha.
  6. I was wondering if it's normal for them to ask you to service, just don't want to be naive and get suckered in as it's a pretty big commitment. I've never been to church in my life or had any interest, mainly because my friends/family are not part of it.
  7. Hello, New here to the boards, been doing a lot of research on Mormons ever since I met this girl on a trip to another state over Thanksgiving (she randomly sat next to me). Anyways so we talked, she was from BYU, I had no idea what it was, since I really don't do research on schools or religion. Anyways I got her number at the end. I attended this volunteer gig she invited me to, that she and some of her church members attended. She starts telling me a little about herself and that's when I found out she was Mormon. I don't have a problem with that, in fact ever since I moved here I've been wanting to try out new experiences. Afterwards she invited me to service? I'm not sure if that's a good thing? My friends tell me that they are trying to lure me in or convert me. I'm agnostic by the way, and very open minded. In fact I've been doing a lot of research regarding LDS and such. The thing I like about her is that she is not only cute but very kind and sweet. Not very common from where I came from (Cali, downtown LA, the "hood"), so I am used to partying, getting drunk, etc. However I've been reading "For the Strength of Youth" and am really interested in some of the rules. In fact I wanted to practice some of those things for week and see how I do, today was my 1st day without any coffee or caffeine. I just thought that if I was genuinely interested in this girl that I'd do a lot of research. Anyways what do you guys think? Am I onto the right path? What are some signs? I plan to pick up the book of Mormon and see what other interesting tidbits I can find.
