Hi, welcome to Ono Ross and Carrie, the show where we don't just report on fringe science,

spirituality and claims of the paranormal, but take part ourselves.

When they make the claims, we show up so you don't have to.

I'm your co-host, Ross Blotcher.

And I'm your co-host, Carrie Poppy.

And you're listening to part two of our Journey with the Mormons.

Or rather, in which we become Mormons ourselves, that's right folks, your co-hosts are official

members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

But before we get there, a recap.

And just a reminder to our listeners that out of respect, we've changed the names of

everyone involved, unless we state otherwise.

As you recall, we took five months' worth of classes and attended several three-hour

church services, learning the ins and outs of Mormondom.

We asked tough questions like, don't these teachings disagree with modern archaeology

and DNA evidence?

And if gender is so important, what about the millions of people alive today who are

neither male nor female?

We tried to be as honest and forthright as we could about our level of faith and to listen

openly and accept any evidence they provided us that the Mormon Church is God's true

church, and that Joseph Smith was a true prophet.

And you'll remember that as you listened, we prayed for the Heavenly Father's guidance,

and then we called our missionaries and set up our baptism.
