Third Time's The Charm?

[KARiRAYSOn]

I almost converted in 2004 but backed out when I felt pressured to set a baptism date and the fact that my husband was almost totally anti-Mormon. He didn't want any part of it. In 2010, I told my husband I was thinking of speaking to the Missionaries again, mostly because a good friend of mine was converting and I had two other Mormon friends who were very supportive of me joining the church. My husband and I had not been getting along for months and when he decided he was interested in learning about the church, I was bewildered but invited the Missionaries over and he sat in the discussions with us. When my so-called-good friend was baptized, he sent me text messages telling me what a bad person I was and that I was living an immoral life. Abruptly, I asked the Missionaries not to come back. Here I am, almost exactly one year later, thinking of talking to the Missionaries again.

Third time's the charm, right? Time will tell. I think I was meant to be a Mormon for many years. I grew up in a community full of them. Most, if not all, were friends of mine. I loved their families! Things happen for a reason and I think that becoming a Mormon is something I will be doing. I grew up with little religion. I attended a Presbyterian church because it got me out of school when I was a little kid and because whenever I'd stay over night at my cousin's house, my aunt would take us to Sunday school. I totally believe that God has placed Mormons in my life for a reason. Just about every job I have had, I've worked very closely with a Mormon! I even sat next to one on a flight from Boise to Tucson and the man gave me his Ensign magazine!

I don't know if my husband is interested in joining. I know there are things he will not give up. I can't make him do something he doesn't want to do. So I am going forth in this for myself. As I find time, I read the BOM and I listened to the General Conference today. It will happen when the time is right.

I'm here for guidance and suggestions from other members! :)
