Wow! Your friend is making a lot of big changes. You are a good friend to ask about the experiences he will have. First of all, everyone makes their own choices about who they will marry. It’s a decision between them and the Lord. My brother just married a Lutheran girl who is more Mormon than some Mormons I know. FYI, LDS and Mormon are the same things. They are just different names for the same Christian church. Most LDS people I have met are genuinely nice and are trying to live a life that will please God. You don’t have anything to worry about. As for your friend being pressured to join- that’s not something most LDS people will do. We are encouraged to ask God and listen to His will, and not make any big decisions till we know they are in line with His will. I hope this helps.

Not to play God so much. But these companies recruit returned missionaries thinking they know how to solicit, mistaking sharing God’s word with their product. I think it’s sad and a huge scam.
