Thanks for all the great advice and support. I am definitely going to use all the advice that you guys are giving me and Ill let you know how it goes

Congrats! good luck!

I am a convert to the LDS religion and I found that a good outline is the articles of faith. I used to be catholic and its like the Nicene Creed for Mormons which basically outlines what we believe in. Besides that you can go onto Mormon.org and actually talk to Mormon missionaries right online and they can answer any questions you have about anything and go into as much detail as you want. i found that very informative. They arent like regular missionaries pushing you to convert either so its very comfortable to go on.

I am a new member and I am the only member in my family. My family is unstable with an alcoholic mom and three other siblings that are all going down a much different path than I am. There is constant swearing, drinking, and disapproval in my house. Im really tired of taking care of everything myself. My bishop keeps telling me that the only thing i can do for them is to be a good example. Its really hard keeping the spirit in my house and to avoid my pre-member nonworthy life when I have to come home to temptations of the past everyday. My family is not real supportive about me being a new member and I dont know if i can take it anymore. I need some help. I love the church and have a very strong testimony but I dont know where to go from here
