Kiaora,

I'm an active LDS member from Aotearoa, New Zealand. Keen to get involved in quality LDS Doctrinal discussion.

Welcome LDS Member

Thanks for posting your introduction message, this INTERNATIONAL Forum allows you to interact positively with many people on varying topics such as LDS Church news, Doctrine, the Book of Mormon, etc. However, do keep in mind that LDS Related Discussion is kept only in the LDS Related Boards as this is an International Community.

Be sure to read: The Art of Discussion.

The next thing you should do now is update your profile. You can do this by clicking the link called, 'My Controls' in the top menu. You may wish to venture over to the LDS Deep Doctrine board or the News & RM Section and have a look around.

If you like LDS Based Games then you may also be interested in playing: Nephi RPG where you can 'Journey to the Promised Land' and see if you really know a lot about the Book of Mormon.

Here are some quick links for you to look over when you have time:

Greetings, MaoriLDS, and welcome to the Forum. We are glad to have you join us. Please do explore the boards and join in the discussions.

Many years ago, my grandfather went on a mission to New Zealand - a chapel building mission. It's very possible that you have attended church in a building that he helped to bring forth.

Looking forward to your participation here.

Enjoy!
Roz

MaoriLDS Introduction

Thanks for the welcome,

Yep I'm a Maori Mormon. Our traditional way of introducing ourselves is:
Ko Maungahaumia te maunga - my mountain is Maungahaumia
Ko Mangatu te awa - my river is the Mangatu
Ko Nga Ariki Kaiputahi te iwi - my tribe is called Nga Ariki Kaiputahi
Ko Rawiri Tamanui te Tupuna - my ancestor is Rawiri Tamanui (seventh generation ancestor)
Ko Mangatu te Marae - my ancestral marae (big meeting house) is called Mangatu
Ko Marcus taku ingoa - my name is marcus
Tena Koutou Katoa - I greet you all....
Kei hea to kai - now where is the food :) - (just kidding on the last bit)

Could be, I've lived in 14 wards and branches in New Zealand - which building was it?

No first time I've successfully registered. I tried a few months back under a different name but for some reason I must have registered incorrectly. I was actually drawn in by the thread on astral projection then, and decided to come back and hunt that thread down again.
