northern_dad Posted August 1, 2009 Report Posted August 1, 2009 Just a note to introduce myself, I'm from western Canada and I've called myself a Christian for 20 some years. I began investigating the LDS church recently and have embraced some of the doctrine while still struggling with some others. I have attended church twice so far and was very impressed with the people, I have never seen such faith in any other church I have attended. So I'm just rolling along trying to learn as much as I can and hope to learn more during my stay at this site. Thanks for your time. Quote
