Default Hello there!

I'm going to join the Mormon Church. I'm reading the Book of Mormon right now. But I do not call myself an LDS cause I'm not Baptized. I work the night shift in a mental Asylum. I live in Sweden. There are quite a lot of Mormons here. 9 temples in my town alone! The missionaries must have been busy.

I "discovered" Mormonism true an apologetics forum, but I was never out after debating LDS theology. I just asked questions and I guess this forum is the next step. Going to ask for a couple of missionaries soon.

Welcome! And wow, 9 temples in one town? Perhaps some are chapels? I know of the Stockholm temple in Sweden, though.

There are different kinds? I know there are 9 places of worship according to the LDS site in Swedish. But now I see that they are called "församling", which might be chapels in English? But whats the difference between the temples and "chapels"?
