Bobby, great to see you tonight on Pastor Shawn McCraney’s excellent program ‘Heart of the Matter’ from Salt Lake City! To those readers who aren’t yet familiar with this show, Live from the Mecca of Mormonism: Where Mormonism meets Biblical Christianity face to face, you can find all 236 past shows at http://hotm.tv/shows-2010.htm

You can also watch it live on streaming video, which I did.

I must say “Russ East from Utah Partnerships for Christ (www.upfc.org). ” seems to be one of the real Christians, I have never seen any hate from his facebook site.

Thanks for posting that, Bobby. I posted this on my Facebook page to draw attention to this event:

“Attention – Latter-Day Saints living in Utah:
A British fellow whome I’ve been discussing our faith with on his Mormonism Investigated UK blog will be spending 10 days surrounding General Conference (October 2010) in Utah! He will be spending a lot of time in the Provo area and visiting members of the Church. He’s open to being contacted by my friends who live in that area (Utah and Provo). Here is his blog:

That’s really cool that you’re going to be spending so much time with people of the LDS faith. Is there a private email address that I or my friends can reach you at (so that we don’t have to post phone numbers and such on the blog)? I’ll spread the word about your trip and this blog.

Thanks for all that, my accommodation is all sorted with UPFC and through them I will be visiting many LDS places and I will be visiting BYU and some stuff there so I actually have a fairly full timetable. And Provo is an area I will be spending a lot of time in to. I think in reality I am spending more time with LDS people than I am people who are Christians like me,

Feel free to give any of your friends the address for this blog and if they read it and want to meet the crazy brit that’s cool, but otherwise I don’t wanna be throwing myself onto peoples friends of friends as that might not be comfortable for them. But please do give them this address.

thanks

That’s excellent, Bobby! I wish I could get to Utah (about 1,000 miles away from me) so that I could meet you in person. Perhaps you could call me when you’re in the States, as it will be much cheaper than an international call. I have a Google Voice number that should be considered a “local call” (usually free) no matter where you are in the US. I also happen to have some friends about our age (mostly late twenties or so) who live in Utah, especially in and around the Provo area (which is where Brigham Young University, Provo ["BYU Provo"] resides). Most of my friends who live in that area are, so far as I can tell, faithful members of the Church, who would probably welcome a chance to meet someone interested in studying their religion, especially from a day-to-day living standpoint. They may even be willing to let you stay with them for a night or longer if you wish. I expect that the Provo area will be much more representative of “normal Mormon living” at this time of the year than the Salt Lake area will be. It might even be easier to find hotels and such there at reasonable rates.

Interestingly, a Mormon missionary I met while he was serving in Chico, CA years ago will be, with his family, in Chico (where I live) this weekend due to a wedding event nearby. He normally lives in the Provo area, I think.

Would you like for me to contact any of my Mormon friends who live in Utah about you visiting them? (If so, I can send you a private message/email about the details.)
