Hello, I am a possible candidate for Lodge #344.
This is Alexis Rizo Jr, I am ecstatic to start my journey into Freemasonry. I recently attended a Masonic dinner, and right away several Brothers greeted me with love and respect as I was referred by Shriner Ted Adams. This same night before leaving I finally met my mentor that Ted Adams had suggested he'd help me seek the Light that I had been searching for. Bill who is a Shriner and also part of The Order Of Knights Templar is now my mentor, we spoke briefly about what made me want to become a mason and a Shriner. We then went over to the Secretary and I handed over my petition, my background check paper work along with the money to get started. Bill then told me they would have a meeting and I said my goodbyes and went home. Sense that night I have not stopped studying Knowledge that I have found on Grand Lodge websites such as The Entered Apprentice Handbook, The Fellow Craft Handbook, And the Master Mason Handbook, My studying is to seek the light, the true symbolism of what I am reading and not just learning but understand and absorb it then apply it to my daily life. As i read threw these handbooks I fill my notebooks with tons of notes but as I fill my brain with all this knowledge I pray to the Universal Creator to give me Wisdom and Understanding to receive and interpret this knowledge in the way it was intended. As of now I am still waiting on someone to get back to me about my background check (which I'm not at all worried about) and hopefully every member will see me as a Man of good moral and grant me the privilege to become a member at the Masonic Lodge #344. I realize I am young but I am focused and have great ambition to become a Mason and elevate through degrees. I recently came across a post about Shriners and that in some states you are expelled if you have anything to do with being a Shriner? Maybe someone can expand this in deeper thought? Thank you all for your time.
Sincerely Yours,
Alexis Rizo Jr.
