Well said, Letrell; and thank you for such a thoughtful reply! I've not attended any LDS services as yet, though I would like to at some point. I loved what you said above: It's an amazing gift. So..emotional to us. Heck, yeah, it is. What each of us does with that gift is in itself a gift we give back to the Savior. Thanks again for your replies, I'm looking forward to learning more!

Thanks so much Letrell! I've bookmarked the link & will check out the information. I'm only at 1 Nephi 6 & have a LONG way to go, but I'm plugging away;-) I must admit, I'm not sure how to process what I've read thus far from LDS members regarding what seems to be an emotional aspect of their testimonies. I've studied Catholic theology & philosophy for some time and am used to a sort of sanitized, bit by bit, line by line explication of books of the bible and have not experienced much in the way of emotional responses from fellow Catholics...don't get me wrong, I appreciate the LDS testimonies I've read...it's just somewhat of a different world for me. Does that make sense? Tim O.

Thanks for the reply Pam! Tim

Hi folks...what is a "calling"? I'm new to the forum & making my way through the different sections here (have also started reading the Book of Mormon). Thank you! Tim Ouellette

Thank you for your kind and encouraging reply Letrell, I really appreciate it!

Thank you!

Thanks for the welcome!

Hello, I just signed up on this forum; I'm a practicing Catholic but have had an interest in LDS doctrine for some time. I'm currently reading "Catholic Roots, Mormon Harvest" by Eric Shuster. I have always admired the sincerity with which members of the LDS church have expressed their faith and belief. I've read through some of the Book of Mormon but should probably take the time for regular reading in order to adequately digest the material. Looking forward to meeting folks on this forum & learning more about the LDS church!
