Your story seems to be a great one to include, but I was wondering if you could expound on it, or contribute something in addition? As you may know from my profile, I am attempting to write a book about religion, focusing on the culture, experiences, and beliefs surrounding all various kinds of religion, not just the plain black and white histories of them all. I want to write about why people believe, their lifestyles, and what turned them on (or off) to religion. Please let me know if this is a project that you would be interested in being a part of. Kind regards, Mark Hi,

Thank you for sharing it. I, too, am a convert. I'm second-generation Italian (Trifilettis and Bellos) and live in Utah. I don't often meet many Italian members of the Church. I've enjoyed trying to trace my family lines. I also searched for the purpose of life and was actually ready to abandon life altogether when I heard a still small voice tell me to have the courage to live on and instilled in me a confidence that I would find the truth. After returning to the Catholic Church and asking questions, being disappointed, and picking up a Bible--I read the NT thru and took notes. I then went on a hunt for the true Church. About to give up on that, I walked into a Baptist Church and found an anti-Mormon brochure. I read it. The negatives fell away and I knew the teachings of the Church were true and what I had expected. I searched for a Book of Mormon which I found in a little library and then read it thru the nite. But what excited me so much was that in that library I found a pamphlet about the purpose of life. It thrilled me and I nearly squealed when I read it. I knew it was true and what I had been looking for. After reading the Book of Mormon, I then called the Church, met a family from Australia who invited me to their home and had the discussions. I later served a mission to GR. Thank you for sharing. How hard is it to set up a blog? k_merk@yahoo.com Dear Giuseppe~
