How to get parents joining the the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints?

[Mikey9]

I joined the church May 2014, and now im 16 years old, i really love the church and its teachings and the Book of Mormon.

My mum and dad respects the church, follow me to church rarely but Sometimes like my baptism, the first time i visited the Chapel, Mothers day and confirmation after baptism and my ordination to a Priest in the Aaronic Priesthood. They even like the missionaries and my home teachers. They also signed the paper so i could join the church.

I dont want to force them to join but i want at least try to get them to joining the church. I dont think they are ready yet because they know people who will not like it, and they like Tea, coffe and alcohol so they dont like the church standards on that.

How can i teach my parents more about the church and make them more interested and maybe get them in contact with the missionaries so that they can join the church eventually? I want to be with my family in the Celestial Kingdom.

My mums parents interested in the churchs geneology and respect the church but i dont think they will join the church.

I wish i were born in a Lds family but im happy that i found the church online and later joined.

Your best best is to lead by example. No one likes to be forced into things. Just keep doing what you're doing. You live in this household. They'll see plenty about the church.

Absolutely.  Let your thoughts, words, and deeds show how the Church has changed you.

I understand.  I felt the same way at your age (only my parents were inactive).  You are very fortunate that they allowed you to join...some parents don't.  And it sounds like you have a good relationship with them, some people don't.

 

I agree with Backroads and PolarVortex, don't push.  Just live the gospel the best you can, and pray that they will have the desire to learn more.

I also advise letting go of the idea "my parents must join the church." Wishing them to join is a righteous desire, but don't base your relationship with them on it.
