Robert Christian Shimmin was a young man of sixteen years when he first heard of the "Mormon Missionaries". He listened intently as they explained the beauties of the Gospel, as was taught by our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, while he walked among men here on the earth. He pondered it in his heart, and studied it thoroughly in his mind. He accepted the truth that the missionaries taught and was baptized in the "Salt waters of Douglas Bay" on the 9th of January 1845. He had been raised and taught to be a spiritual person and it was easy for him to understand what he had been taught by the missionaries from America.
