Yep

Thanks, I am just excited for my baptism haha.

Just curiosity I guess, I don't know if I would or not. Serving as a missionary is not on my mind right now, I haven't even been baptized yet lol.

Well being raised a Catholic and growing up in the church even getting confirmed, I also live in the Northeast the highest population of Catholics and I can tell you most people around here claim to be Catholic but never practice. We know a ton of families who get their kids baptized and then never go to Church after, it's kind of weird. And when I say never, I mean literally never....lol

Well I will be baptized soon so whatever the Church did to get the word out to me they did a good job of it.

Well I think that inactivity in the Church is common throughout most form of Christianity right now as a lot of people don't go to Church because of technology and stuff. Do you think a lot of people stop practicing all together though?

I heard the Lds was the fastest growing religion in the US but it seems like to members that more are leaving? Could someone clarify? Thanks

Thanks for the nice story, it makes me feel a lot better haha

Oh okay, I have never attended any type of baptism before and I know how family oriented LDS church is.

Thanks, I am just concerned because my family members said they wouldn't attend because it goes against their teachings but I still want to do it, I was just wondering if it is common for late converts to be baptized alone with no family in attendance?

Thanks, by the way who can attend a baptism? Or who usually does? Can non-mormons?

I moved the thread into a different category that fit (Advice) lol. Yes, The BoM makes sense as I read it and I have been praying very good feelings about it

Thanks! I am talking to the missionaries tomorrow in person for the first time, I have been speaking to other ones online lol

Hey I am new to the forums, nice to meet you all. Anyway, I am a Catholic right now but I have been reading the Book of Mormon and talking to the missionaries for a little over a week now and they asked me to be baptized later on in May. I am 20 years old and I haven't attended my first temple service yet, I am quite nervous. Would I have to speak in front of a large group of people as a visitor or anything? What is expected of me after baptism? What is RS and home teacher? I have so many unanswered questions that I haven't asked the missionaries yet, so I though maybe you all could help.

Thanks for the replies
