Thank you. That's very helpful! I'll use that! I suppose it's important to remember that they're still human, so they might not have an answer to everything :)

I chatted with two (very nice) missionaries online at Mormon org. Have you tried that? :)

I've invited the missionaries round (I'm just waiting for their reply) What can I expect when they come round? What are good questions to ask them? Thanks.

I decided I would invite the missionaries in. The automated reply said they would contact me in a few days .. :)

Good luck to your nephew by the way :)

Thanks, Yeah a big part of me being hesitant is not wanting to upset the relationship with my family. Trying to think of a way to break the news to them that I'm interested in the LDS church... Very tricky. The only bit they 'know' is that it's and 'American religion where you can have lots of wives'. So I'm a bit worried about any prejudice I'll face and I even though I'm 26 I think family is important and I don't want to alienate them. But then again I suppose if I belive it I'll have to follow my convictions... And invite the missionaries to get the ball rolling (I don't think the whole LDS church is a fad but my grandparents worship in a 900 year old church - for them Methodism is new!

Hi everyone! I've read most of the book of Mormon, and the Bible and I feel like I'm close to joining the LDS church but I feel like there's something holding me back. I believe in all of the revealed scriptures and the prophethood of Joseph Smith, but I'm not sure if I'm ready to change my religion (I'm from a Methodist family). How would you deal with this 'inexplicable' reluctance? Is it time to invite the missionaries in my home to guide me? Are there any English LDS around? (I'm worried my family will see it as just an American fad) Thanks for reading. And many thanks for any replies! :)
