			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many LDS members shared their testimony and responded to questions as part of the nearly 500 comments on Elder Holland&#8217;s Youtube video posted last week. I thought you might be interested in some of the comments left by non-members, especially the first one.  You can see the video here: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tz3rggCnhxQ">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tz3rggCnhxQ</a></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I must say, what Holland is saying her makes incredible sense and something about this video really strikes a cord with me in a way that nothing else ever has. I&#8217;ve been to many churches and have heard many sermons, and if they all use the Bible I can&#8217;t see how they all come out so different. If this Book of Mormon is indeed an addition to his word, then God sure knows what he&#8217;s doing to correct where we&#8217;ve been going wrong with Christianity.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><span id="more-27"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Didn&#8217;t Christ Himself know something of ridicule, religious persecution, and oppression? All the Mormons to believe whatever stuff they want, and we can believe what we﻿ want. Isn&#8217;t that what a free will is for?&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not a follower of the Mormon teachings, but I will say I&#8217;ve never been condemned for my personal beliefs by any members of the faith.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I used to be LDS, but when i hit 19 years of age left it my family is still mostly all LDS. All i have to say is although i might not believe in god, LDS people are the most kindest loving and funny people I&#8217;ve ever met and they rock! Just fyi reason saying i left and i do not believe in god is, well, Just because they believe differently does not make them any less of awesome <img src='http://blog.lds.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> &#8221;</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;So do mormons read﻿ the regular bible (King James, NIV,etc&#8230;) also?&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>
&#8220;mormons101,thank you for posting this video, I know what my personal experiences have been with you mormons but I didn&#8217;t mean to jump on the &#8220;mormon bashing bandwagon&#8221;, I sincerely believe we all have an opinion but I truly do not mean to put down other peoples relationship with GOD! If it works for you all then Blessings to you all, and I am glad you will block those who use profanity!&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>(MrJackGrayson, a LDS member on YouTube, shared the video with over 200+ of his non-LDS friends.  Here are a few response from his friends.)</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8221; Totally beautiful words. No matter what ones faith is, to believe in God is the answer. Thank you MrJackGrayson for the share. Very inspiring. Sherry&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;As a Roman Catholic I have no problem with the Mormon Church. As Christians our respective faiths take us ultimately in the same direction I believe. Many thanks to MrJackGrayson for sharing.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few months ago I was asked by <a href="http://www.lds.net/mailis">Mailis</a> and <a href="http://www.lds.net/hanne_line">Hanne_Line</a> if there could be a site created for LDS members from Finland and Norway, respectfully.  I created a <a href="http://www.lds.net/forums/suomalainen-keskustelupalsta/">Finnish</a> and <a href="http://www.lds.net/forums/siste-dagers-hellige-forum-pa-norsk/">Norwegian</a> forum and chat room for them on LDS.net, and Mailis and Hanne_Line agreed to be the moderators.  Mailis and Hanne are such wonderful women, and it has been so amazing to have them be a part of the site.  I really appreciate all their dedication and effort they have done to build up the information for the Church in their native language. It&#8217;s been such a wonderful experience to see the feedback from having these forums available to members and investigators of those countries.</p>
<p>Because of the Finnish and Norwegian sections of the website, I regularly get messages from people in those countries wondering where a Church is located and how to find out more.  Mailis has currently been talking to two investigators from Finland, <a href="http://www.lds.net/tms1">TMS1</a> and <a href="http://www.lds.net/Tytto_19">Tytto_19</a>.  TMS1 really wants to be baptized, and Tytto_19 went to Church with Mailis last Sunday.  It is so neat to see the missionary work that is happening everyday on LDS.net.</p>
