Douglas Posted September 7, 2007 Report Posted September 7, 2007 Hello all, I am an LDS inquirer, a husband and father of three daughters. I was born, raised and educated in the Roman Catholic Church. That being said..... I have great respect the Church of Latter-Day-Saints and the good work it does, I have worked with and respect Church members, I am coming to believe that Joseph Smith is a true prophet of God and that The Book of Mormon is true, I respect President Hinckley as a seer and prophet, I agree with the basic theological principles of the Mormon Church Conversion can be a winding and sometimes lengthy process so please keep me in your prayers as I meet with missionaries for the first time next week. And do know that I am very appreciative of your online friendship here. Quote

Garden Girl Posted September 19, 2007 Report Posted September 19, 2007 Welcome Douglas... You are on a wonderful path however... Saying a prayer for you now... how does your wife and girls feel about the church? Do they share your interest or are they at least supportive? Glad you are here... The Garden Girl Quote
Josie Posted September 19, 2007 Report Posted September 19, 2007 Welcome to the site and to learning about the Church. I hope you and your family like what you hear and truly give the gospel a chance in your lives. Josie Quote
Douglas Posted September 20, 2007 Author Report Posted September 20, 2007 Hows it going with the missionaries Doug?I never got the call back to set up our appointment. I re-registered on the official church site for a missionary to contact me and hopefully we will touch base very soon. Quote

Saying a prayer for you now... how does your wife and girls feel about the church? Do they share your interest or are they at least supportive?Glad you are here...The Garden GirlPrayers are always appreciated! My wife is a non-practicing (but very cultural) Catholic. She is somewhat supportive of me, being aware of my long spiritual journey. Our two youngest daughters attend Catholic school but she would have no problem with them attending Sunday services with me. I am praying for true conversion and that Heavenly Father leads us all gently toward the same goal. Warm regards,Douglas Quote

HockeyDude Posted October 6, 2007 Report Posted October 6, 2007 Hello Douglas! :) That's so great to hear that you're on your path to conversion. It's a process everyone has to go through, even us who are born into an LDS family. Hopefully everything will result the way it sounds it going, in eventual baptism. I'm certain the Lord is pleased with you right now. You'll be in my prayers, as long as you keep saying them as well. Quote

Douglas Posted October 10, 2007 Author Report Posted October 10, 2007 You former catholic/pre-Mormon stud! Totally awesome Doug...Will your family attend your baptism do you think?Thanks...lolGood Question...I am not sure to tell you the truth. I may have to do this one on my own. Which dosen't make me sad. You can't force it. I have to let them take one step at time at their own pace. I guess I can only set an example at this point. Quote
