Talking Missionaries Came To The Door And...
Well, it's finally happened, I'm in touch with the meetinghouse I want to join! Today, the missionaries came to the door and because my Mum and Step-dad had gone away on holiday this morning I was able to let them in for a chat!

They're coming round again on Monday with a friend to show me a DVD and they've left me with a leaflet to read.

I can't tell you how exciting it is to finally know that I'm on my way to being a member. Even my Pug dog is happy and he loved sniffing in the Elder's bags!

Wonderful news! Congratulations. I remember that feeling too, even though it's been 37 years now. Try to keep that memory with you always and you will do great things for Him that created us. Welcome to LDS.net. Also, there will be questions you'll have, so don't hesitate to ask here. There are many lovely willing and learned folks here to help you in your new understanding.
Keep smiling ~

Sally

How exciting I can feel your glow also. Just reading your post. I remember when I tok the missionary lessons..many, many years ago. I still can look back and feel the awe and wonder of the message(s) they brought to me.

Congratulations! Your happy message was uplifting. You'll love the lessons the missionaries have for you and feel the spirit that is with them. And I can tell it's with you too right now. Keep remembering that feeling because it came from the Spirit. And I hope you'll stay in contact with all your friends here.

I was born over there too, in Scotland but I'm living in California now. I returned to serve a mission in Northern England.

Hi LanPingPug, Yes those missionary's really are great Guys and girls,when i joined the church it was the love and spirit that radiated from them that first filled me with the spirit,they dident feel like strangers to me, they felt like part of my family from the word go.
They so much loved and believed in what they were doing, they were alive with happiness.
Both guys were from the usa, it was winter and in those days rode peddle bikes, i used to feel bad watching them riding away in the snow.

Well, I'm having my fourth lesson on Saturday and then they're taking me to a barbecue at a church not far from here where loads of people from the ward will be. And on sunday I'm off to church! Exciting or what?!
