Totaly- i know exactly what you mean.

heres an idea on breaking the ice and becoming more comfortable with all these polite strangers: ask the relife society president about your visiting teachers, mention home teachers too.(not part of her job, but she'd know who to talk to)

welcome to the site.

edited to add:

oh your younger, i supose the young womens pres is more who yoou should speak to. and find out about semanary. there should be lots of youth activities, at least 2 a month i think. the key is staying informed and being involved.

welcome to the site.

Welcome Shannon. Goncrats of the babtizement, taht was great that you did it! I too am a convert. Yes it can get boring adn it can be difficult when now that you are a member misionaries dont come any more and the family... but it is important for you to attend no matter what! It may take some time before you "get in the crowd". Remember to go to all those monthly or weekly assemblies ... I am sure that after a while you will get in the business again! You know the one with horns tries to bring us down... but we wont let him!

So officially:

Welcome to LDS.net. You will find here an ecclectic mix of LDS and some non-members. While the site is dedicated to the Gospel, and to promoting the Church to a world that often does not understand us, we also make room for conversations about current events, and about social and cultural practices within the Church. If your main desire is to learn about the Church, consider starting with the "Learn About Mormonism" forums. For more advanced teachings, that will often include a variety of perspectives, some non-LDS, consider the Gospel section of forums.

While you are welcome to all main sections, be aware this site makes room for a variety of opinions and personalities. Some posters can be passionate about their views, and occasionally more so about them than about the souls of visitors. If you find something particularly offensive, feel free to make a report by clicking the appropriate tab.

Hello Shannon

Welcome to the site!

[KayCee]

Shannon, I'm so sorry you're having a bad experience right now at church. Hang in there...the best piece of advice was given to me on my baptism day: "The gospel is perfect...the people are not." I'm glad you came here though...we'll hang out with ya!

[TheNewChristina]

Welcome, Shanon!

[FunkyTown]

:) thanks ...some times wonder why i have become a member but glad im baptised thats the main point, things suck since getting baptised but ahh well its all good

Aww! Shan, I'm sorry for you. You are awesome.

I went through much the same thing when I first joined. Things can get rough and we're all going to be tested.

Just know you're strong enough to handle anything, that you have a great amount of courage to be the first to join in your family and that the future will be great for you. :)

PS: Go England! I moved here from Canada. We UK Mormons will be ruling this site, soon!

[shan_lds]

thanks everyone im sure everything will work out just one thing i dont like in church at the moment and thats young womens:( kind of sucks but hopefully soon they will talk to me and i will enjoy it :)

and thanks phatbac for getting me to join :)

[dazed-and-confused]

hi, shan......give things a little time to ease up and work out a bit, right?

in the meantime, by all means, talk to us here. there are many young members you can meet here.

look into FORUMS and ant kind of young members link, i'm sure that you will feel more in tune with things in no time at all.

Hey, I can totally relate to you. I didn't have friends when I joined the church so often sat alone. My family also hated that I joined the church. Stick with it! It will get better and God will bless you. You can hear my conversion story here if you have a few minutes to spare:
