  1. Sister thank you so so much for your reply. That was such a great read. I’m so so blessed to be apart of this church. As I said above I want nothing more to bring people unto Christ and let them have the happiness the church gave me and to be able to have the honor of wearing Christ’s name over my heart. What you said about some of the other missionaries was scary to read but it made me realize that some people have if tougher than I and still go ahead with doing a mission. Thank you so much for your kind words and that push I guess I needed!
  2. Oh wow, it’s great that it’s relatable and there is a happy ending! That’s all I want to do, to bring Christ unto people and let them experience the happiness the church gave me. Plus having the honor to wear Christ’s name over my head is just so awesome. Thanks you for the advice.
  3. I don’t know to be honest! Like I was baptised catholic and had Communion and Conformation done. She said she would be happier if I just stayed being catholic. She always brings up that when I was young I was so catholic and now I’ve switched to a “American church”. She thinks it’s a cult because of what she’s read online. Things like tithing, temple work, the story of Joseph Smith, and she read that missionaries target young people so she thinks that’s why. She also feels like I think of them as family and that they are trying to replace them to lure me in. There are so so many young people here that don’t believe in God and that’s why she wondering why I believe, it’s very rare here and for me to enjoy church and going to all the activities she finds it weird.
  4. Thank you so much I guess I must continue to show how much the church has changed me in a positive way!
  5. Yeah I was baptised Catholic and my mum said she would be happier if I stay catholic. I don’t understand because she is atheist yet she wants me to switch back to being a catholic. I think it’s more of a cultural and heritage thing. There aren’t many LDS in Ireland so I can see why she is reserved.
  6. Hello all, I was hoping someone would be able to help me with this. I converted to the church about 2 and a half years ago. I’m 21 now and really want to serve a mission, all my branch think I should and my PB said I would serve it. The only problem is are my parents. They don’t like the church and call it a cult, then when I spoke about the mission they were not happy at all! I really don’t know what to do. I really want to be a missionary but I don’t know how to overcome my parents objections. They refer to the church as a cult and are atheist. As is everyone else in my family, they think it’s strange that a 21 year old believes in God. Has anyone else had this type of experience? How did you overcome it? Did you persuade your parents? Thanks,
