I love it when Katherine Jenkins or Jenny Phillips does those songs.

So are you in the process of getting baptized/converting? I am a new convert myself. I served in Afghanistan and find Islam, contrary to many peoples feelings, a beautiful thing with many tenet beliefs that I feel all people should follow.

Oh, I most certainly learned much about myself and God in Islam. I could just never resolve the Jesus Christ question in Islam to my satisfaction. And, for a white American woman who does not know Arabic, it is pretty hard for various reasons.

As I have said before, I first admired someone who obeyed the first commandment, and then found that the Prophet Muhammad PBUH and his revelation of the Qur'an seemed quite reasonable.

So, then when I encountered the LDS in Kirtland, and they were so absolutely, unreservedly, undeniably, loving, it sort of bowled me over. AND, unlike so many other faiths, they said that I could bring what I learned into the church! No one ever asked me to not wear my Hijab, and I mostly stilll dress like Muslim woman. They will not attack another religion. Wow, gag me with a spoon!

I'd still be Muslim if they accepted Jesus as the Christ...or maybe LDS/Muslim, um or something.

I am not sure how this thread popped up again. No one had replied to me. Hmmm perhaps I am supposed to say something, so I will sort of journal here for a minute.

There is no more doubt about converting to "Mormonisim", because I have, in separate study, now learned more and find that Heavenly Father has me exactly where he wants me to be, finally I listened! Wallah (I swear it in the name of God.)

There are far too many things happening right now to write them all down. It is too wonderful for me, and I know that I do not deserve to be treated so well...

The thread "popped up" again because someone posted a spam message (post deleted and poster banned).

But thank you for the update! Love it!
