Greetings fellow freemasons in the forum,

I have been reading and watching the messages for a couple weeks now. I am a good hearted men that have acquired a deep admiration for the Freemasonry. This forum has given me motivation and means to get in touch with other Freemasons. Tomorrow I will be in a meeting in the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts. It will be my first meeting in that lodge. I have been in another previous Lodge, in Malden MA before. I am very excited and delighted to be invited with the invitation. My intuition and learning about the Fraternity tell me that I will be among good people and that I could have a life oppurtinity to be become better. I am looking forward to prove myself and to begin my journey in the fraternity.

Today is a very happy day for me. I have filled my application to join a lodge. I met a really good guy through this forum that was willing to listen to me. He believes that I got Freemasonry in my heart as I already knew. I am anxious and hoping that my application is approved.

It was my pleasure to meet you, Will. I enjoyed our meetings and look forward to calling you “brother”.

My journey has been continued. Today I met the Investigating Committee. I was very well received by all the 3 members. I got to know them better and I answered some questions about my myself. They had a favorable opinion. I will be voted December, 8 and if everything goes well I will be initiated in January. So far through this process, I have met a handful of good guys. The Worshipful Master is a great person, I can feel. Also I know that I have already made one real friend, even though I am not a brother yet. He is a guy that has a heart and lives masonry to the fullest. Windrider is the man. I am happy with the way the things are going and I am looking forward to see all of you beyond the west gate.
Best regards,

Hello Soon-Brothers,

I will be initiated this Thursday 26th, 6:30 at the Ancient York Lodge in Lowell, MA.
I am very excited and have been looking forward for this moment a while now, as you all know. Soon I will step into the other side and will be a member. Counting the hours now.
Best,

Will DaSilva
