Tytto_19 from Finland will be baptized on Saturday

mormon-baptismTytto_19 will be baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly known as the Mormon Church) on March 17, 2008. We are so happy for her. I’m so thankful for Mailis and all she does to fellowship the LDS.net members and the missionary work she is doing in Finland.

Tytto was curious about the Mormon Faith and was doing some internet research on the subject. Her research led her to an anti-Mormon forum. However, she felt mislead by the information she was receiving and sought out other Mormon sites, which led her to LDS.net. Through the friends she made on LDS.net site, she decided to contact the Missionaries. She gained a testimony of the truthfulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ and has decided to be baptized.

Investigators from Finland

A few months ago I was asked by Mailis and Hanne_Line if there could be a site created for LDS members from Finland and Norway, respectfully. I created a Finnish and Norwegian 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’s been such a wonderful experience to see the feedback from having these forums available to members and investigators of those countries.

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, TMS1 and Tytto_19.  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.
