Tom Bell

Hi everyone! My name is Tom and I live in Gloucester, UK. I am 34 years old and I’m happily married and have a beautiful, five year old daughter. The last 8 weeks I have been exploring my faith. I have read through the New Testament and I’m currently half way through the Book of Mormon. I have found comfort and inspiration meeting with my local missionaries. I really like how the LDS church is progressive, relevant to the modern world, and welcoming. The problem is that my wife does not want for us (my wife, daughter and I) to be associated with the LDS church. She is from a Russian Orthodox family. Her biggest issue with the LDS church is that if I was to be baptised again, then according to the LDS teachings my wife and daughter would not join me in the afterlife, as they are not baptised though the LDS church. Has anyone here had similar obstacles with family/friendly being against your wishes to join the LDS church? Thanks!
