In Their Own Words
“Numbers of good people are investigating the gospel message and recently in Eskilstuna a family of five members, prominent Baptists heretofore, joined the Church. They were highly respected people and otherwise comfortably situated and the fact of their associating themselves with the "Mormons" has naturally created a stir among their old friends. — Millennial Star 71:47”
