On LDS.net, Andrew and HoosierGuy were both baptized as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint (sometimes called Mormons or Mormon Church) in March. Both have told said that their baptism was a direct result from having come to LDS.net to have some of their question answered as well as having received support from the members. I’m so happy for both of them. Here is a little about each one.

Andrew (32 from Calgary, Canada) - Joined the site on Feb 12, 2008. He talked a lot in the chat room with members, but also posted in the forums. This is one of his first posts: When I pray I don’t feel any sort of emotional response or excited, just peaceful and calm. No sort of discernment if anything is true or not, it’s good to see Hoosier so excited though, good for you. I’m not sure I could make it to the point where I could stop sinning to get baptized. Been reading your experiences Hoosier and it’s really uplifting. I’ve changed a lot over the last couple years going to church, not a Mormon church but I think I couldn’t do everything that is required of me.

HoosierGuy (36 from Indiana) Joined the site on Dec 15, 2007. He came to the site because was curious about Mormonism and had a lot of questions. This is his first post. After a few days of having his questions answered by the members of the site, he asked which book he should start reading, and was given all the information by members of the site that he should read The Book of Mormon, where to call to request a free one, and also let him know where to find it online. He started reading The Book of Mormon online, and frequently asked questions in the forums. He was a good way through The Book of Mormon, as well as the Gospel Principle Units before he called to request a copy of The Book of Mormon on Jan 9th. While anxiously waiting for his copy to arrive, he called the local missionaries on Jan. 22nd and then was baptized on March 8th. He received the Aaronic Priesthood on March 16th.
