Hello and welcome to the site. I too am a convert and the gospel has been the biggest blessing in my life. I can understand in a way why your bf wants you to wait, its probably cause he wants to walk this walk with you, its exciting to see some one you care about learn and grow, and Im sure he just wants to be a part of it. Talk to him, let him know u dont want to wait for him, that you want to start learning now, and let him know that you know that he will be around to talk to of what you are learning, and you can share this with him by the net, or phone. Good luck. Hope you had a nice Christmas.
