Yeah they are very cautious about what the church does with me. I get pretty emotional about it. It seemed very firm on the decision on me getting baptised. I dont know what to do now.

oh yeah sorry, yes i believe in all those things. yes i read my scriptures and i love the stories in there and its so interesting. i dont think my parents understand or realize that im taking this seriously.

Hey im new here. i need some advice but here is a little about me. I moved to Utah 3 years ago. A friend asked if I wanted to go to church one day, and I did. I was interested and kept on going and going at earlier times. I have been going for 2 years now regularly. People there like me alot, most know who I am. I am 16 years old right now and turn 17 in July. I have done many things with the church now. I have taught a lesson, bared a testimony, go to church and mutual regularly, and i received a calling recently for special needs mutual! I have a sister and none of my parents nor my sister go to the LDS church on sundays but me. I have been very interested lately and have taken one discussion. It didnt go so well because it felt kinda crowded and there were alot of people and one of the missionaires had only been speaking english for 2 months. I have been thinking of taking more discussions and getting baptised. My parents are ok with me going to church, but they dont think I should get baptised until after college. It was a very emotional talk. My parents comments were like that im just wanting to join because of where we live. Also, they dont agree with everything the church believes in. They think that I should be exposed to other religions as well and then make a decission after college. I believe in the church. My dad used to be a muslim, but doesnt practice now. My mom is part of a religion called sufi, which is like a light muslim/christian religion. Since the talk about me wanting to get baptised, i have fasted with several other friends, and prayed in the morning and night. I had been thinking of getting baptised, and a couple days, I had a dream that I was getting baptised and it was the best day ever, and it said the day was July 23rd, 2011. And what got me was that I looked at the calendar, and july 23rd is a saturday! Can i get opinions on what you think of the situation and what should I do? I would really appreciate any feedback. It is a difficult time for my family with my dad quiting his job and deaths in the family for my mom recently. Please, I need any advice. Thanks!
