Wikipedia has been an exciting learning curve. I enjoy to fill in the gaps and add links in establishing pages that my education points out.
I accepted Baha'u'llah's claim to be a Manifestation of God in 1992 and work to call myself a Bahai since then. I had a Baha'i marriage and my wife is a Baha'i who was born in North China. Our son attends childrens classes, devotional meetings and feasts.
