Hey Everyone!!
Hello everyone! I just thought I would pop in and say hi from Rhode Island! Not too sure how to write this introduction but here goes. My experience with the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter-Day Saints has been very limited, however I hope to expand my knowledge on this religion and meet some new people along the way. I was invited to go to to Palmyra, NY this year with my friends who are Mormon and I got to see the Hill Cumorah Pageant which was amazing! I also got to go to Joseph Smith's house and the Sacred Grove. Ever since i've been home I can't stop talking about the church and how friendly and welcoming everyone was while I was there. I'm reading the Book of Mormon online and am finding it very interesting. I keep getting invited to go to church with my friend...I keep telling her one day i'll go... So at any rate sorry about the long-winded introduction but I thought i'd say hi

Welcome! Have you asked your friend for a book of mormon? We kind of get them by the pay load in the church, pretty much every mormon has a celler full of them just waiting to give them out. (Okay I'm being sarcastic) but believe me, it wouldn't be hard for your LDS friend to get hold of a copy of the book of mormon! Unless you like reading it online! But at least copy of the book of mormon has pictures in it!
Keep reading it! Keep following this feeling you are having! I do suggest you at least get ready to go to church some time (did she tell you its 3 hours?) you can figure out if you want to go that long for your first time.

Hello friend:
Welcome to the forum. Look forward to seeing your posts and feel free to question and inquire. By the way, going to church with your friends will give you a chance to see that we are all normal (whatever than means) people after all. In places like NY likely to have lots of converts or people like you and me that did not have a religion before or were searching for something more. Promise, they will not hold you down and dunk you into the baptismal fount....
You should go the with your friends to the chapel on Sunday and ask for a copy of the Book of Mormon. There is something special about flipping thru the pages of a book that the computer screen fails to provide, to me at least.
Again, welcome.
