I'm new here. I was raised in a VERY diverse family and am a convert to the LDS faith. I'm old and my conversion happened a hundred years ago (well maybe not quite 100) , prior to marriage, five kids and life. I know the Lord loves me and is actively involved in my life, plans and future. I see the Church as a vehicle to get me back to my Father's presence. As I visit with others and read blogs, etc. I am constantly amazed that we as members must not be doing a very good job of explaining our doctrine "out there in the world", as the ideas about us are pretty strange. Also, I have reached a point in my life where I finally understand that I have so much more to learn about the simple basics of the gospel and I am excited about the quest. With those things in mind, I would love to join your group.
